MINOT, N.D. (Valley News Live) – The State Fair Center will be filled with booths and shoppers when the Pride of Dakota Showcase returns to Minot on Friday and Saturday, October 27-28.
“This year’s Pride of Dakota Showcase features nearly 110 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 3:00 to 8 p.m. Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 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.
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 might 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 by clicking “View the Minot Map.”
An additional Pride of Dakota Showcase is scheduled for November 3-4 at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. Holiday Showcases are scheduled for November 17-18 at the Scheels Arena in Fargo; and December 1-2 at the Bismarck Event Center.
Administered by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, the Pride of Dakota program provides member companies with cooperative marketing and promotional events, such as in-store demonstrations, Pride of Dakota Day and the Pride of Dakota and Holiday Showcases. 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.
