BISMARCK - The 20th annual Pride of Dakota Day is Monday, July 21, at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.
"More than 25 Pride of Dakota companies will be demonstrating, sampling and selling a wide range of quality products, such as food and condiments, notecards, recordings, books, wearing apparel, jewelry and much more," said Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson. "Fairgoers find it's a great time and place to meet, shop and lunch."
Located under the large tent near the southwest corner of the State Fairgrounds, the an-nual event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"The Pride of Dakota lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.," Johnson said. "You'll get a grilled hot dog, potato chips and milk for only a dollar."
Cloverdale Foods, Land O' Lakes, Pan-O-Gold and the Northern Plains Potato Growers As-sociation sponsor the lunch. Proceeds go to North Dakota FFA.
