HURON — The South Dakota State Fair will host a groundbreaking ceremony for The SHED, at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Aug.t 29. The ceremony will take place near the 4-H Beef Exhibits Building on the South Dakota State Fairgrounds.
“This project is a perfect example of what is so great about South Dakota,” said Governor Kristi Noem. “It took vision and support from the state, the local community, and stakeholders from across South Dakota to get this project to construction.”
The SHED is the new home for Open Class Sheep during the annual State Fair and will serve as a multi-use facility for other livestock and equine events during the non-fair time.
The facility, covered by an acre of rooftop, will include a show arena, space for up to 1,000 sheep, an educational center, bleachers, concrete flooring, and restrooms.
The indoor educational center will provide a place for interactive learning about the sheep industry, opportunities in agriculture, and the state’s rich agricultural history.
The event is open to the public (state fair gate admission required).
