Fair and Farm Show season is fast approaching with Farm Fest in Redwood County Minnesota August 3 through the 5 and the Minnesota State Fair August 26 to September 6. Minnesota Farm Bureau President Kevin Paap says they’ve upgraded their exhibits and their building at the fairgrounds.

He says Walt Disney World has the second largest one day attendance of any event in the world. Paap says ahead of that is the Minnesota State Fair which gives them a great opportunity to take agriculture’s message to consumers and speak with them one on one.

Paap says kicking off all the Ag Events this late summer ahead of the Minnesota State Fair is Farm Fest which runs from August 3 through the 5.

Paap encourages the public to visit their new building at the Minnesota State Fair at 1305 Underwood Street and speak with them at Farm Fest as well.
