County Fair Legacy Project
The "Looney Lutherans" will be back again to perform a new show for our community. They fit well into our local cultural history using music and comedy to showcase our past, present and future with the performance of "Hotdish on the Range." This show provides a free opportunity for those that are not able to make the trip to the Twin Cities. Many of our local residents can relate to the antics of the church women. , This year we are also excited to bring the Minnesota Raptor program to the fair. We were unable to have them last year due to the Avian Flu. The program will feature three raptors including an owl, falcon and hawk, along with a bald eagle. Participants will learn about what makes these birds raptors and what makes them stand out. This variety of entertainment will provide something for everyone and be a big hit., Paul Bunyan will also be here to talk about what it is like to be a lumberjack back in the day. He brings an authentic axe similar to the ones used by the lumberjacks in the 1800's. He has knowledge from the industry long ago and talks about the myths and lore surrounding himself and Babe the Blue Ox.,
