“What a great gift it is when your life’s work is bringing people together to celebrate the very best of each other. This is way more than an agricultural fair. It’s a uniquely Minnesota-style celebration of our humanity.”- Jerry Hammer
With 50+ years at the Minnesota State Fair, and over half of those as CEO, Jerry Hammer has led the State Fair into an era of unprecedented success. As he prepares to retire, we invite you to honor Jerry with a gift to the Hammer Family Endowment Fund of the Minnesota State Fair Foundation.
