Project Overview

We will use this grant to focus on the rich history of agriculture in Minnesota through presentations and displays by photographers Doug Ohman and AJ Kern. We're promoting art in our area and state through the chainsaw art of Curt Ingvoldstad and the hands-on demonstrations of Lisa Douglas. The antique tractor display at our fairgrounds will be a bit more educational with a sign displaying the various types of tractors, along with facts about some that are on display.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect approximately 50 people for each of the AJ Kern and Doug Ohman presentations. There will be a volunteer at each to count those in attendance. The art demonstrations with Lisa Douglas will each have 15 people in attendance. That will be determined by the amount of supplies she goes through for the hands-on demonstrations. We expect 100 people at each of the chainsaw artist performances. This will be tallied by a volunteer.
