THINK SUMMER: Minnesota State Fair Gearing Up for 2021
Officials with the Minnesota State Fair are busy planing for the 2021 Great Minnesota Get Together, with several scenarios in the works due to the ongoing pandemic.
The 2020 State Fair was cancelled due to COVID-19, for just the sixth time in the festival s existence. State Fair General manager Jerry Hammer says that virtually all State Fair revenue dried up in 2020, and the fair reported an operating loss of $16.2 million. The Minnesota State Fair doesn t receive any funding from the state government.
Hammer added:
From the day we canceled, our priority has been to ensure the future of the fair by holding our operation together. I cannot stress enough how critical our expert staff is to the success of the fair. They’re experienced pros, and there is no fair without them. Our staff is ready to go, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back together at the State Fair.
