Out of nearly 1,000 exhibitors, concessions, attractions, and food & beverage vendors at this year’s Minnesota State Fair, only 12 were named the very best. Northern Minnesota was represented via Visit Bemidji’s award-winning tourism booth in the Education Building.

The “Best Award” recipients all exemplify certain characteristics the State Fair looks for. Some factors include customer service, positive and knowledgeable staff, a high visual presentation, and presenting quality products or services. Visit Bemidji’s exhibit showcased not only the places and unique aspects of the area, but the people as well.

This is the third year Visit Bemidji has had a booth at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. The booth brought back their giant video screen and photo booth for this year.
