Fair Teams with United Way, Businesses to “Pay it Forward”

The South Dakota State Fair is partnering with businesses and organizations on the 4th Annual Pay it Forward Day at the 2019 fair. The program provides free admission to the fair for those in need, as well as to individuals selected at random on Monday, Sept. 2, 2019.

“It’s rewarding to continue Pay it Forward Day. We cannot thank the businesses that purchase the admission passes to give out enough. Last year, nearly 600 passes were handed out,” said Peggy Besch, SD State Fair manager.

Fair officials are working with the United Way Heartland Region to distribute the tickets to those in need. If you are interested in participating in Pay it Forward Day or would like more information, please contact the fair office at 605.353.7340.
