Our state fair starts August 27th and continues through Labor Day,
September 7th. The Minnesota Ornithologists' Union welcomes volunteers
to work at our Minnesota State Fair booth on the DNR campus.
Volunteers report back that they really enjoy talking with fair
visitors about birds. Our booth set-up and take down have been
streamlined with a wheeled cart where everything needed is stored.
Because of DNR budget constraints, we no longer receive tickets. We
encourage volunteers to purchase their own tickets as a donation to
MOU. There will be some money available for reimbursement, especially
for those who sign up for multiple shifts. Our Google calendar is up
and ready for sign-up. If you wish, I will sign you up- just email me
your preferred dates.
