Well said, Hope! Honored to have been a part of this great collab 🫶🏻
9 days at the Fair with 8 Pride of Dakota Members sharing 1 booth. Seems like it just began, but in a couple of hours, the booth will start to be disassembled and the 2026 NDSF will be over.
I could not have assembled a better group if I had planned it myself….oh wait, I did plan it myself (at least in the beginning)! Ha!
Last December I was approached by Katrina from Pride of Dakota about a potential opportunity that was coming up at the fair and it got the wheels going.
Because I am lucky enough to carry many Pride of Dakota products, I started thinking about how we could assemble a group that would have unique products and would be great fit for a collaborative booth. And that’s how this all came about.
The best part is that after we pack up the booth, you can still find all these great products at the shop! One stop for a wide variety of Pride of Dakota products (and these are just a small handful that we carry).
So thank you to:
Deanna at Guardian Grains
Mindy at MW Designs
Steve at Arnolds Misfit Acres BBQ
Max at ART BY MAX
Karey at Karey's HomeSpun Chick Goat Milk Skin Care
Tanya at T's Tangles
Julie at Ogle Candles & Crafts llc
Did it all go perfectly? No, because something new never does, but this team made it all work in a collaborative way.
Thanks to Pride of Dakota for putting the time and energy into creating this new space at the fair. It’s great to have more North Dakota companies represented at our state fair!
And remember, you can shop Koselig at 106 every week to find Pride of Dakota and other locally made goods.
