North Dakota Ag Connection - 07/21/2017

Nearly 20 North Dakota companies from around the state will display, sell and sample their products at the 29th annual Pride of Dakota Day on July 24 at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.

"You'll find a wide range of quality Pride of Dakota products, such as food and condiments, artwork, books, apparel, jewelry and much more," said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. "It's a great time and place for fairgoers to meet, shop, and share lunch."

The annual event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., under the large tent near the southwest corner of the fairgrounds. The Pride of Dakota lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"For just one dollar, you'll get a grilled hot dog, potato chips and milk," Goehring said.

KMOT-TV is an event partner for Pride of Dakota Day at the State Fair. The lunch is sponsored by Cloverdale, Dean Foods, the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association and Pan-O-Gold Baking Co. Lunch proceeds go to the North Dakota FFA Foundation.

Goehring also encouraged fairgoers to take part in the Pride of Dakota Snack Contest and the Summer Sausage Contest at 3 p.m., just outside the Pride of Dakota tent.

"Fairgoers will have the opportunity to taste a variety of snack foods and summer sausage made by North Dakota companies," Goehring said. "It's another fun opportunity to taste and vote for the best the state has to offer."

Goehring said that fairgoers who bring a non-perishable food donation will get a dollar off their gate admission on Pride of Dakota Day.

The program also provides educational opportunities and representation at regional, national and international marketing expositions. More than 500 North Dakota companies are Pride of Dakota members.
