Pride of Dakota Day is making a much-anticipated return to the North Dakota State Fair this summer, bringing together the essence of local agriculture and community spirit on Monday, July 22nd, 2024. This special event is a highlight for anyone interested in celebrating and supporting North Dakota's local producers.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., fairgoers can enjoy a delightful lunch under the Festival Tent for just $1. This isn't just any lunch; it's a carefully curated menu of Cloverdale hot dogs, Pan-O-Gold hot dog buns, Prairie Farms milk, and Northland Potato chips—all iconic products of the region.
The aim is simple yet profound: to offer a taste of the local bounty while supporting a good cause, as all proceeds will be donated to the FFA Foundation.
This event is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the ND Department of Agriculture and KMOT-TV. Their support underscores the importance of local agriculture and its contribution to the community's economy and well-being.
Adding to the excitement, the first 500 attendees of the lunch will receive a $10 Pride of Dakota Bucks Coupon. This coupon can be used at any participating Pride of Dakota vendor throughout the fair, making it an excellent opportunity to explore and purchase more local goods.
A list of participating vendors can be found on the North Dakota Department of Agriculture's events page: all events.
Pride of Dakota Day is more than just an event; it's a testament to the state's rich agricultural heritage and a day to recognize the hard work of local farmers, producers, and artisans.
It's a day for the community to come together, enjoy the fruits of local labor, and support the next generation of agricultural professionals through the FFA Foundation. Mark your calendar for July 22nd and be part of this special celebration at the North Dakota State Fair.
