Contribute to the Beautification of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds
The Great Minnesota Get-Together is widely known for its beautiful landscape, including tens of thousands of flowers, trees, shrubs and topiaries. The State Fair faces increased challenges, however, in preserving and improving the fair’s landscape. Your gift will be used directly for landscape improvements, disease prevention and reforestation, and to help keep the State Fairgrounds filled with beautiful greenery and shade for generations of fairgoers.

Support Agricultural Education at the Fair Through Improvements to the Moo Booth
To open at the 2009 Minnesota State Fair, the new Moo Booth will replace the current exhibit that has not been updated since 1984. Continuing the tradition of strong agricultural education offerings at the fair, the improved Moo Booth will demonstrate the agricultural processes that bring food to our tables. The improved Moo Booth will have more room for demonstrations and feature an industrial milk processor.

Your gift will support efforts to preserve existing State Fair archival materials and the creation of a multimedia State Fair history resource.
