A message from Anna:

“Hail South Dakota” is not just our state song. It is an outward sign of honor to the state we live in. “Great Faces, Great Places” is not just a slogan but a way to describe South Dakota’s greatest assets: its people and its beauty. With less than one million people South Dakota gets forgotten easily in the vast nation of the United States. However, to the residents of our state we know that South Dakota is nothing less than unforgettable.

Throughout South Dakota, fairs are sprinkled here and there. Don’t let these other fairs fool you; there is still one that remains the queen of all… the South Dakota State Fair. As Miss South Dakota State Fair I am proud and honored to represent the time and location of extreme merriment where all of South Dakota is invited. Being able to experience a place where people from all over can come together, mingle, share in various types of entertainment and bring their own customs and talents to show is amazing. I would encourage anyone and everyone to stop by this year’s state fair and enjoy all the festivities offered from the rocking concerts to the carnival rides. Of course, don’t forget about all the delicious food!

I am a fifth-generation South Dakotan and I realize how important the hard-working people of South Dakota are to making it the marvelous state that it is today. I would like to thank the State Fair for giving me the opportunity to be Miss South Dakota State Fair and spend time with those people. In closing, all of you who take my advice and come down to the State Fair, don’t forget to stop by the pageant and watch as we crown this year’s new Miss South Dakota State Fair 2009.
