Minnesota bands playing in our entertainment building is one of the biggest draws of our fair--the bands help bring people together and everyone can spend time with their friends, and make new ones. Since we added our teen night, it is growing every year. We started this event because of complaints for the 16+ age group that there was nothing for them. With the four bands we offer, we have a variety of music to cater to a wide audience of people. This year we are also adding a kids event with Making Faces out of Mankato, Minnesota.
