Testimonials

“The Great Minnesota Get-Together has proven to be a successful event for multiple clients over the last couple of years. The sponsorship staff  is second to none in the festival business. They understand client needs and help build packages that meet the goals of our marketing tours. They are always quick to respond and easy to work with. The fair itself has amazing attendance numbers that reach our ideal demographic. I’m looking forward to continuing my relationship with the Minnesota State Fair for years to come with a variety of clients.”

“The Minnesota State Fair is one of the biggest special events that Coca-Cola has in the Midwest. It would not be as successful without the committed relationship that we have with the State Fair staff. Things move pretty fast during the “12 days of the fair,” but the fair staff make it almost turn-key and virtually stress free.”

— Coca-Cola

“As a first time participant at the Minnesota State Fair, we were very pleased with our overall sponsorship experience. From set-up to tear-down, the fair staff were accommodating and encouraging.
