The Sesquicentennial Commission is the official Statehood Sesquicentennial coordinating body, created by the State Legislature and appointed by the Legislature and Governor to plan statewide activities and coordinate with other entities all activities to commemorate and celebrate Minnesota’s Sesquicentennial in 2008.
To help the Commission fulfill this duty and fully report to the Governor and Legislature all of the activities undertaken in the months ahead, we need to find out what everyone is planning and help coordinate these activities across the state and across the months ahead..
There are many events, programs, and activities relating to Minnesota’s Statehood Sesquicentennial either in development or being planned by organizations across Minnesota, from state agencies and local government to non-profit organizations, businesses and educational institutions.
Participants at the Sesquicentennial Mini-Conference will be able to network with other participants and will receive a briefing on Commission Sesquicentennial plans thus far – including grant winners, commemorative stamp plans, Statehood Week activities and Capital for a Day plans, and the ongoing Plan for Our Future meetings across Minnesota.
