This end-of- summer tradition is held the 12 days leading up to and through Labor Day. The “Great Minnesota Get-Together,” is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. The State Fair’s mission is to educate and involve our guests by providing a world-class showcase that is innovative, entertaining and fun. We strive to showcase Minnesota’s finest, provide outstanding customer service, offer exceptional value, provide a safe, clean environment and create unique experiences that are accessible to all! The fair employs approximately 70 year-round full-time staff members. During the summer, about 450 seasonal staff are added. More than 2,300 people are hired as fair-time staff members. Come by our table to learn more about our employment opportunities! Gibbs Farm is an 8-acre historic farmstead. Our Mission at Gibbs Farm is “Experience, Understand, Grow”. Through field trips, day camps, and weekend and evening programming we bring mid-19th century Minnesota history to life. The life of Jane Gibbs connects Dakota lifeways to farmstead stories in a way that is accessible and exciting to children and adults. MN State Fair Gibbs Farm League of Women Voters The LWV of Roseville educates individuals on primary/general election day information, vote-by-mail/absentee ballot requests, local polling locations, candidate forums, election judge (bilingual) opportunities, and LWV VOTE 411 MN (ballot/candidate information). Participants will also have the opportunity to spin the voter education wheel and win giveaways. The Be SMART program is the non-partisan educational wing of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and was started in 2015 to take action to prevent children’s access to guns. The message is clear as it encourages all adults to “Be SMART” and take these simple steps to help protect children from unsupervised access to guns: Secure all guns in your home and vehicles; Model responsible behavior around guns; Ask about the presence of unsecured guns in other homes; Recognize the roles of guns in suicide; and Tell your peers to be SMART. The Be SMART program is intentionally non-political and is grounded in these assertions: Everyone wants children to grow up happy and healthy. We all have the right to make responsible decisions about how to protect our homes, families, and communities (including whether or not to have a gun in our home). If we can prevent even one child gun death, or injury, it’s our collective responsibility to do so. Como Block Nurse Program The Block Nurse Program links older adults in the Como Park/Falcon Heights area with community resources, using staff and volunteers. Our services support independence, increase opportunities for socialization, and promote safety for adults as they age. CBNP provides rides to appointments, homemaking, grocery delivery, dog walking, chores support, yard clean up, friendly visits, telephone reassurance, blood pressure clinics, chair yoga, foot care and more! Be SMART Program The Bell Museum The Bell Museum is Minnesota’s state natural history museum, founded in 1872 and serving learners of all ages for 150 years. Experience our world-renowned wildlife dioramas, visit the hands-on Touch and See Lab, and tour the cosmos in the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium.

The Ramsey County Master Gardeners is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose volunteers are trained by the University of Minnesota Extension Program and educate the public about a variety of horticulture topics. The City of Falcon Heights would like to thank all of the organizations that participated in the Resource Fair & all of the people who attended the Ice Cream Social! We can't wait to see you next year! Falcon Heights Families for Equity & Justice Our organization (FFEJ) started at Falcon Heights Elementary, soon after the murder of George Floyd. Parents at our school wanted to make it clear that we stood with all people in our community, and are here to guide our children to be good citizens who value all people. We organize solidarity marches, hold space for all to talk at our meetings, we hold inclusive reading events, and discuss ways inclusion is being brought to the district with district leaders. We will have a few coloring pages and color materials at our table along with bookmarks from a past event. The bookmark has thoughtful questions on it that parents can ask their children while reading with them.
