Pride of Dakota Day at the ND State Fair:
 
 Pride of Dakota Day is held at the State Fairgrounds on the first Monday of the annual North Dakota State Fair, and attracts thousands of shoppers. The event takes place Monday, July 23, 2012. A popular part of the day is the Pride of Dakota Lunch, featuring a North Dakota hot dog on a North Dakota bun, potato chips and North Dakota milk – all for just a dollar. Lunch proceeds go to the North Dakota FFA. In addition, companies can participate and sell products during the event.
 
Pride of Dakota School Lunch Day:

Hundreds of school lunchrooms around the state feature North Dakota wheat, beef, durum, beans, sunflowers, pork and other commodities on their menus during the annual Pride of Dakota School Lunch Day. This year’s Pride of Dakota School Lunch Day is scheduled for Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The program helps young people understand where their food comes from, and how to make healthy food choices. It also demonstrates to school administrators and school lunch directors that North Dakota companies can supply many of their menu needs, and it shows North Dakota companies that school lunch programs are an important market for their products.

Pride of Dakota Store Program:

 The store program offers free benefits to retail stores that carry Pride of Dakota products. Retailers who participate in the store program are listed on Pride of Dakota’s website. They also have access to Pride of Dakota point of purchase materials and work with Pride of Dakota to sponsor events featuring North Dakota products.
