Project Overview
Mahnomen County is only 583 square miles in size, but according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the county contains three of the four biomes: Coniferous Forest, Deciduous Forest, and Prairie Grasslands. Some of the land in Mahnomen County is used for farming, but trees are also an important natural resource. The Mahnomen County Agricultural Society would like to provide access to Minnesota's Agricultural, Historical and Cultural Heritage through a Lumberjack show and camp.

We expect that during the fair 200 adults and children will attend the lumberjack shows and camps. A volunteer will take attendance by counting people as they enter the show, or passing out a "door prize" ticket as attendees enter.
