    I purchased a reserved seating ticket for the concert. Now..my son does not want a reserved ticket. Why are you not allowing people with reserved tickets to go down in the standing room only section?

    Hi Rhonda,
    Fire Code restrictions are requiring us to have those with reserved tickets remain in the seating section. If you would like to exchange your reserved ticket for a standing room ticket you are definitely welcome to, just give us a call at 857-7620. Thanks!

    Why no car show this year? That is the night that the older generation enjoyed. We got to bring our cars down and visit and listen to good music. I have visited with alot of people and they are not happy that there is no show. If is was a loss of money thing, I think that you should reconsider about bringing it back. IT WAS A NORTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR TRADITION. A very bad move not having it.
