Introducing the newest recognition opportunity on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds: Recognition Tiles on the Welcome Wall!
About the Recognition Tiles
Donor names and messages are engraved into powder-coated aluminum tiles which are approximately 7” wide by 3” tall. The tiles are arranged on each side of the Welcome Wall in an overlapping design consisting of three colors (positioned to be slightly lifted off the wall).
Recognition tiles can fit up to three lines of text with up to 20 characters per line, including spaces and punctuation.
Tiles may only contain text. We are unable to accommodate special characters, fonts or images. Website addresses and advocacy messages will not be allowed. The Minnesota State Fair Foundation reserves the right to edit or reject submissions. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests for a specific tile color or for specific placement on the wall.
The Welcome Wall is intended to be a long-lasting art installation on the fairgrounds. If damage occurs to an engraved tile within the first 5 years after placement, the Foundation will make best efforts to repair or replace it. We are not able to offer any kind of guarantee beyond 5 years.
Donation Amount
These engraved recognition tiles will be placed on the wall with a contribution of $600. Contributions are tax-deductible as a charitable donation.
Timeline
The deadline to donate towards placing a recognition tile in time for the 2025 Minnesota State Fair has passed as of April 30, 2025. Stay tuned for details to order in time for 2026!
The Minnesota State Fair Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your gift may be tax-deductible as a charitable contribution.
