Project Overview

The Kandiyohi County Fair is inviting Doug Ohman of Pioneer Photography and Services to bring photos and speak during the 2023 Kandiyohi County Fair. The presentations will take place in the KCF Historical Log Cabin. There will be a total of 7 presentations on Wednesday and Thursday during the Fair. The presentations consist of "Heart of the Farm - Barns in Minnesota," "Historical Churches," "Going to Work in the 1930's," "Saving History - History Beneath our Feet," and "Life in Minnesota 150 Years Ago." We will also work with Doug Ohman to provide demonstrations as well as historical items for display. Doug Ohman is a very popular speaker and we expect to see his shows grow to over 50 attendees per show.
