Project Overview

With the Legacy Project, we intend to purchase two wireless microphones to help promote the arts on our stage for the performers. We are also hiring RJ Kerns, to promote photography and explain the history behind the art of taking photos. With the number of exhibitors showing photography, we would like to educate the public on the history of photography and why it is so important and how to improve their skills in exhibiting photos.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We are going to advertise RJ Kerns and his accomplishments prior to fair. We are excited to bring these shows in for the public to see and participate in. We will assign a volunteer to take an average attendance count at each show and determine if some shows drew more people than others. We want to continue educating fairgoers on the history and culture of photography and agriculture in our great state of Minnesota.
