Fargo promotes Sun SoundsSun Sounds radio reading service has cast Fargo, a golden retriever trained to guide the blind, to star in its new statewide public awareness campaign.Beginning this month, Fargo will appear in all public-service advertisements on behalf of the nonprofit service, which is available on the radio at no cost to all blind and visually impaired Arizonans. The ads will appear on Outdoor Systems billboards, Harkins Theatres slides (seen before features) Basha's and Safeway grocery bags, and selected print publications. Sun Sounds currently is used by 30,000 people, but organizers say another 100,000 could benefit but are unaware of its availability. The service relies on private and corporate grants to support the cost of broadcasting more than 260 publications 24 hours a day throughout the state. More than 450 volunteers read the printed word to listeners. For more information on the service, call 231-0500.
