The State Fair Center will be filled with booths and shoppers when the Pride of Dakota Showcase returns to Minot, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24-25.
“This year’s Pride of Dakota Showcase features more than 100 companies offering unique, North Dakota-made products,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Shoppers will find thousands of products to choose from, including gourmet food, wine and spirits, books, jewelry, apparel, personal care, pottery, quilting, photography and framed art, children’s items and more.”
The showcase is open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Admission and shopping bags are free and sponsored by the Bank of North Dakota College SAVE Plan. Parking is also free for Pride of Dakota shoppers.
New events during the showcase this year include a food and wine experience on Friday evening from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.; Gourmet Chef cooking demos both Friday and Saturday; an Ag in the Classroom area for kids with make and take activities; hourly Pride of Dakota bucks drawings on Friday; and a chance at a $200 shopping spree.
Retail stores are invited to attend as well. “This is a great opportunity to purchase a few items to try in your store before establishing a wholesale order. Plus, retailers can support a fellow North Dakota small business in the process. It’s a chance to begin a working relationship that could be beneficial for many companies and local retail stores,” said Goehring.
A complete list of participating companies scheduled to be at the Minot Pride of Dakota Showcase is available at https://www.prideofdakota.nd.
Additional Holiday Showcases are scheduled for Nov. 14-15 in Alerus Center, Grand Forks; Nov. 21-22 in the Scheels Arena, Fargo; and Dec. 5-6, in the Bismarck Event Center.
