The South Dakota State Fair is making plans for the second annual Pay It Forward Day. The South Dakota State Fair is partnering with businesses and organizations to provide free admission to the fair for those in need or to random people on Monday, Sept. 4.
Peggy Besch, SD State Fair manager says 450 passes were distributed at the first annual Pay It Forward Day last year. The goal this year is 500.
Fair officials are working with United Way Heartland Region to distribute the tickets to those in need.
Robin Olson of R & L Sanitary, says they wanted to support the Fair and approached the fair with the idea of purchasing tickets to be distributed to those less fortunate.
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.
The 2017 South Dakota State Fair will run from Thursday, Aug. 31, through Monday, Sept. 4
