North Dakota State Fair Documentary

Fair documentary: The documentary “Our State Fair: The North Dakota Experience” will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday and 8:30 p.m. Thursday on Prairie Public Television. DVD copies can be purchased at the North Dakota State Fair office in Minot or call (701) 857-7620.

“Our State Fair: The North Dakota Experience,” uses archival photographs and historic video footage to trace the annual event’s history, but it also examines how the fair serves North Dakota’s modern agricultural community. Prairie Public producer Matt Olien said the documentary focuses on the agricultural aspects of the fair—and especially the youngsters who come from all over the state to show their prize animals.
