Dear Exhibitors:

Thank you for being a part of the 2020 South Dakota State Fair! The health and safety of our fair community, partners, and guests is our highest priority. We are evaluating each area within the fairgrounds and buildings on a case by case basis to determine realistic modifications. People will need to take personal responsibility for social distancing and respecting other’s wishes to social distance. We work closely with the South Dakota Department of Health to ensure if there are new developments that will impact public health and safety, we will make modifications accordingly. The South Dakota State Fair exists to showcase the best of South Dakota and bring people together. We are dedicated to working with you to produce a safe, fun and memorable event! We are grateful for your support, flexibility and partnership. We’ll see you at the fair!

SPIRIT OF DAKOTA AWARD Statement of Purpose & Criteria The Spirit of Dakota Award is an annual honor bestowed each fall by the Spirit of Dakota Award Society at a state-wide event in Huron, South Dakota. The Spirit of Dakota award is given to:

• An outstanding South Dakota woman who has demonstrated leadership qualities and

has been successful and admired in her community and state.

• Women with roots deep in South Dakota whose courage and strength of character have

helped develop her family and community.

• A woman who has represented social, cultural, and education advancement for others.

• This award is not Mother of the Year, or Teacher of the Year, nor categorized but rather

recognition of those outstanding women who have been the symbols of all that we are

proud of in our Prairie Women.

• The nominee does not need to be a native of South Dakota, but must be a current, living

resident of the state.

The Spirit of Dakota Art Show is held in conjunction with the Spirit of Dakota Award Celebration & Banquet slated for the first Saturday of October at the Huron Event Center. First place winners in the Art and Photography Divisions may have the opportunity to have their winning entries chosen for display at the art show. The Spirit of Dakota Committee will select entries based on need and space availability. For more information about this award go to www.spiritofdakota.org.
