FARGO (KFGO/KVRR) – The annual Pride of Dakota show at the Scheels Arena is always a big hit for the customers and the vendors.
“The Fargo area has always been really good to us, and really supportive of Pride of Dakota, and really supportive of local businesses,” said North Dakota Department of Agriculture Marketing and Information Director John Schneider.
One of the stars of the weekend event was Stan’s Supermarket and its famous Wishek sausage. During both days of the show the crew from Stan’s had trouble keeping sausage in stock as the line backed up through the door.
“We spent about 6 or 7 weeks preparing, making sausage every single day, stockpiling it,” General Manager Jacob Deile said. “I think we finally did it right this time. We never ran out.”
The sausage is an old German recipe, made by hand, that has been in the family for generations.
“It was actually started by Stan, my grandfather, back in 1962,” Deile said. “One of Stan’s partners brought it over to the Red Owl, and then they started working on it together. From there it just kind of took off and gained a little more popularity year after year.”
Deile said they plan to come back next year.
