The South Dakota State Fair offers several simple ways to save money during the fair.

Save on gate admission by purchasing your grandstand tickets on or before Aug. 28. Tickets purchased by then include gate admission. Grandstand tickets can be purchased by calling 866-605-3247, online at www.sdstatefair.com or at the grandstand ticket office.

On Aug. 29, all veterans and active military members receive free gate admission. Additionally, on Aug. 29, 4-H youth also receive free gate admission by showing their 4-H card, which can be obtained from county 4-H offices.

Coupons for $1 off gate admission on Aug. 30 are available at Prostrollo Motors on east Highway 14 in Huron. The Prostrollo's Rockin' Rollback coupons are valid on Aug. 30, only.

Sept. 2 is Kid's Day, as well as Pay it Forward Day. Kids can dress up in their favorite future occupation uniform and be eligible for $1 off admission into the fair. The fair is also teaming up with businesses and organizations that are generously sponsoring gate admission passes for those in need. Passes will also be randomly handed out at the gate entrances. Fairgoers can pay it forward to the food pantry by bringing a non-perishable food item for the 'Drive to End Hunger" between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and receive $2 off gate admission.

There are also plenty of ways to save money at the carnival throughout the week. All rides on Wednesday, Aug. 28, are only a dollar!
