MN Federation of County Fairs

Hello Minnesota Fairs! This is the LAST CALL to join your other Fair friends from across the world by submitting your information to the IAFE Community Impact Survey! Your information is vital to the futures of our County Fairs!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AjX1U4FKr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

⏰ Last Call! The 2026 Community Impact Survey closes tomorrow, June 26.

If you haven't participated yet, now is the time. Every response helps strengthen the story of how fairs make a difference in their communities through youth development, agriculture, education, volunteerism, charitable giving, and community engagement.

The more fairs that participate, the stronger and more representative the results will be.

Don't miss your chance to ensure your fair's impact is included.

Complete the survey today: https://forms.gle/m2ouVzh1MANFk72U7
