Kudos to both loyal and new volunteers! You pay not only the admission
to the fair, but also accept the inconveniences of getting there. You
donate time in excess of the 4 hours you spend at the booth! Our MOU
booth is the only venue for birding clubs at the fair.

The fair starts in about two weeks. Many shifts need volunteers. If
your schedule allows, volunteer for more than one shift and we will

THE MOU NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
The place we have to meet the greatest number of people to promote
birding and the MOU is the Minnesota State Fair. For many years we have

talked with birders and non-birders. The
I had a great time on Friday night and Saturday morning. Kids love the
wheel and lots of adults as well. The new old light board was a hit
