Bringing the Future Home!
There are many new buildings on the Fairgrounds, but we’re not finished yet—we need your help to bring this project home. To wrap up the incredible four-year journey we’ve been on, there are two final buildings we hope to complete: Cattle Barn #2 and the Outdoor Covered Show Arena.
The plans are in place, and now we need the funding to make them a reality. If you’re interested in supporting these final projects, please contact Bob Gonsior, President of the Goodhue County Fair, at 763-229-0410 with any questions about making a donation.
