Miss SD State Fair

Hello All!

My name is Theresa Knutson and I come to you from the little town of White, South Dakota. I will graduate from South Dakota State University in December with a B.S. in Animal science and minors in Equine Management and Ag Business. I hope to obtain a position in the Equine Industry after graduation.

I’m very excited to be your Miss South Dakota State Fair! It is a great honor. I’m proud to represent something that has been a large part of my life. I’ve been attending the State Fair since I was in a stroller; the State Fair is one of the highlights of my summer. When I was a little girl I remembered how much I loved going to the horse barns, which was the best part of my week! Not only did growing up on a farm influence my future path in the Agricultural Industry, but I feel the State Fair did as well.

The State Fair is a place where people can come to have fun and learn about the great state of SD. Everyone should experience the South Dakota State Fair. From the beef barns, to the 4-H Exhibits, to the amazing grand stand entertainment. The State Fair offers something for everyone! Don’t forget about the pig races, the rides, the exotic animals and the Miss South Dakota State Fair Pageant.

I hope you all have a great State Fair! Go see as many 4-H exhibits, entertainment, livestock exhibits and everything else the fair offers that you can! Did I mention eat as much fair food as possible!? I hope your South Dakota State Fair experience is wonderful and I’ll see you all at the Fair!!
