New rides, more WiFi coming soon to 2025 North Dakota State Fair
MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – The North Dakota State Fair in Minot is less than two months away, and there are a few new things to tell you about.
General manager Craig Rudland said there will be several new rides, including one that goes up to 140 feet tall, 80 miles per hour.
He said another big project they’ve been working on is installing Wi-Fi all across the fairgrounds.
The fair is celebrating 60 years this year.
“We’ve probably installed somewhere in the neighborhoods of 120 miles of fiber throughout the fairgrounds. That’s going to help our vendors and a lot of other things work a lot smoother,” said Rudland.
Work crews are also on the second phase of a roofing project on the State Fair Center, that thousands of vendors and exhibitors use year round.
The project will cost about $6 million.
This year the fair runs from July 18-26.
