On May 11, 2008, Minnesota reached its 150th anniversary as the 32nd state in the United States of America. Beginning in January 2008, the Sesquicentennial will be a yearlong, statewide commemoration and a catalyst, to learn from our past and connect all of us as Minnesotans in creating a thriving, innovative future.
Thank you volunteers and visitors for helping us have such a great experience at the Minnesota State Fair! |
