To provide exhibits, re-enactments, education displays, workshops and presentations of "Wabasha County in Days By-Gone."

The commissioner shall award grants as follows: (1) $700,000 each year distributed in equal amounts to each of the state's county fairs to enhance arts access and education and to preserve and promote Minnesota's history and cultural heritage;
Survey crowds and collaborators.
Surveys and personal interactions were positive. The fair was able to work with two county historical societies. By working together, the fair received new exhibits and the hisorical societies reached new audiences.
