We are looking for volunteers for the Minnesota State Fair. This year the Minnesota State Fair runs from August 24 through September 4 and is one of the largest state fairs in the entire country. Nearly 2 million people visit the state fair annually. Help us spread the amazing work the ACLU of Minnesota is doing at this year's state fair!
