Share Your Story
Over one million people visit the Minnesota State Fair each year. As fair-goers try new foods and walk through thousands of booths, you have the opportunity as pig farmers to tell your story as part of the consumer’s state fair experience. The success of Minnesota Pork at the state fair depends on awesome volunteers. Each volunteer will receive admission into the fair and a t-shirt. There are three opportunities to get involved at the Minnesota State Fair:
