State Fair Winners Announced

Folks lined up to sign up for membership at the Minnesota State Fair in August.

This year, with the help of some great sponsors, MSHS offered a drawing each day of the Minnesota State Fair for folks who signed up or renewed their membership in the society. In addition to the daily drawing, all the names of the new and renewed members were put in a hat for a brand new Toro lawnmower.

The winners are listed below, but first we wanted to say “Thank You” to all the folks who stopped by our booth at the fair. We had a great time at the fair and were happy to sign up more members than at any fair since 2012! We also sold lots of books, T-shirts, garden knick-knacks and gloves.

Thanks again for visiting us at the fair. We’re already looking forward to next year!
