State Fair Booth

The State Fair is one of Minnesota’s most treasured traditions. Its rich history began more than 150 years ago with the character of early fairs dominated by agricultural exhibits and competitions, reflecting its original purpose of encouraging farming in the state. While agriculture is still the primary focus, the scope of activities has broadened to include large-scale entertainment, technological and industrial exhibits, scores of education and government institutions and of course, the Wildlife Science Center enhancing the exhibits at the DNR building.
