Find us at the Fair!
The Voyageurs Conservancy booth is located on the north side of the DNR Building, on Carnes Ave. between Clough St. & Nelson St.
Entry Gate # 9 and 10 are the closest to our Voyageurs State Fair exhibit off of Como Ave. When you get inside, head north on Clough St. and walk towards the DNR building until you reach the north side of that block.
Can’t join us at the fair?
No problem! The celebration of Minnesota’s National Park extends far beyond the fairgrounds! You can still enter our Sweepstakes online. Plus, we have events throughout the year, so there are plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow Voyageurs enthusiasts and celebrate five decades of protecting this pristine wilderness!
