The North Dakota Winter Show, held annually in Valley City, North Dakota, is an agriculture and livestock show that has been a significant event since its inception in 1937. The show occurs in early March and has grown to attract around 30,000 attendees each year.
The Winter Show originated under the guidance of Valley City businessman Herman Stern, who also played a pivotal role in founding the Greater North Dakota Association. The show began to support and promote agriculture during challenging economic and agricultural times. The first show featured over 1,700 heads of livestock and more than 2,000-grain samples, marking a successful start with a profit that allowed for future investment in the event.
The North Dakota Winter Show has served as a hub for agriculturists, ranchers, farmers, and the general public. It provides a platform for showcasing livestock, grain samples, and agricultural products and innovations. The show also includes entertainment, including musical performances and rodeos, adapting to changing tastes and trends. For instance, the rodeo became a part of the Winter Show in 1963 and has since featured significant talent.
Women's exhibits and activities have also been a vital part of the show, with a dedicated Women's Division organized in 1962. These exhibits have included a range of activities, from hobby shows to luncheons, showcasing the versatility and inclusivity of the event.
The North Dakota Winter Show has continually evolved, adding new events and attractions while maintaining its core focus on agriculture and community. It's a celebration of agricultural practices and a social event where people gather, share experiences, and create memories.
