North Dakota State Fair Attendance Slows; Officials Optimistic

Attendance at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot is down slightly from a year ago.

Official attendance through the first five days of the fair is about 2,400 fewer than in 2014.

Fair officials say a total of 35,209 people came through the gates Tuesday.

They say top acts such as Keith Urban and Aerosmith should bring the numbers up by the time the fair closes Saturday night.
