Things to Pack
Because there is so many fun things to do at the fair, you would want to be comfortable. Typical July weather in North Dakota is hot and humid, so be prepared! Warm weather clothing such as shorts, tank-tops or t-shirts are all appropriate to wear to the fair. Tennis shoes and sandals are great shoe choices. If you're going to the evening entertainment, like concerts, you may need to wear jeans.
If you're competing in 4-H or FFA, you may need to wear a uniform or work clothes. Most people end up wearing jeans and boots while working in the barns taking care of their animals.
You can't bring in food or beverages into the fairgrounds. Since it is normally hot, you would want to bring sunscreen. If you have any young children, you can bring a stroller. Most importantly, you should bring money so you can enjoy the fair.
