2025 DakotaFest Women's Brunch & Vendor Fair

Mark your calendar – the Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce will host the Dakotafest Women’s Brunch and Vendor Fair on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at the Highland Conference Center in Mitchell!

The annual Dakotafest Women’s Brunch and Vendor Fair provides a fun, inspiring experience for women and is held in conjunction with the Dakotafest Farm Show. This year’s keynote speaker is Calli Williams, a first-generation rancher who will share her story and passion for agriculture in a talk titled:

“Built By Hand, Powered by Passion: Life As First-Generation Ranchers.”

Calli brings a fresh perspective on building a ranching life from the ground up—without the legacy of generations before her, but with determination, hard work, and grit. Her journey is a testament to what can be built with heart, hands, and perseverance, and her message will resonate with anyone who has carved out a path of their own.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at the Highland Conference Center. Tickets are on sale July 9!

Vendor forms can be found here.
