The North Dakota State Fair is searching for the Region’s most talented individuals. Those who can entertain a crowd are invited to showcase at the Fair this summer. There are a number of different ways to get involved, many of which include prizes, cash and even a chance at stardom!
The Amateur Talent competition is Wednesday, July 28th at 2pm on Stage 2. Cash prizes will be r
