S.D. State Fair Continues Planning for September
USAgNet - 06/04/2020
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) announces the South Dakota State Fair, scheduled for Sept. 3- will continue.
This year the South Dakota State Fair celebrates its 135th fair, themed 'Perfect Vision of Fun' and will showcase youth, tradition, agriculture, and South Dakota heritage. Planning for the Fair will look different as we navigate challenges posed by the COVID-19
pandemic. Even through the most difficult times, the state fair has been known to be an event where youth can celebrate achievement and showcase their hard work throughout the summer. The state fair may look different than it has in previous years, but the
SDDA is dedicated to creating a welcoming event where people can enjoy time with family and friends.
"We are very excited to continue our planning for the 2020 South Dakota State Fair," says Peggy Besch, South Dakota State Fair director. "We know that this will look a lot different than previous years, but our highest priority is to ensure we are implementing
measures so guests, participants, and the community can take the precautions necessary to stay healthy."
As COVID-19 continues to offer its challenges, the SDDA and the South Dakota State Fair will work diligently to implement the necessary changes to promote hygiene and health while in attendance. Components of the fair may be scaled to ensure Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) guidelines are being implemented. Currently, options are being researched and explored to increase additional health measures throughout the state fairgrounds.
