| MISSION STATEMENT It is the mission of the Olmsted County Agricultural Association to preserve, improve and promote the Olmsted County fairgrounds property as a premeir site for agricultural, educational and community events. |
PURPOSE
We will work to honor Dr. Christopher Graham's legacy and to fulfill the
expectations of Dr. and Mrs. Graham as stated when they gifted the fairgrounds
property to Olmsted County. In the legal document titled "Gift of Deed" dated
October 22, 1919, the stated "Reasons for the Gift," say that Dr. Graham "is
giving the property to Olmsted County with the understanding that they and the
Olmsted County Agricultural Association shall work in harmony to carry out the
intent of the deed." The "Purpose of Gift" as stated is "to be used for Agricultural
or School Fairs, such other fairs, meetings, sales, exhibitions and expositions
for any purpose which will advance, further or promote agriculture, education,
aviation or any kindred or allied occupation."
We will promote agriculture, horticulture, home economics and the arts by
encouraging workshops, exhibits, shows, sales and competitions to be held at the
Fairgrounds facilities.
We will promote educational endeavors by supporting 4-H, FFA and other youth
groups in their project work as we provide a venue for teaching, sharing ideas,
preparing exhibits and participating in competitive events.
We will encourage the use of the Fairgrounds by those interested in sharing their
skills of technology, science, fine arts, crafts and hobbies.
We will assume an active role in seeking out and working with those
organizations that wish to use the Fairgrounds facilities for events such as
livestock shows and sales, commercial exhibits, entertainment, farmer's markets,
flea markets, etc.
We will do the planning and serve as the managing team for the annual Olmsted
County Fair. Our goal is to make it one of the best county fairs in the state of
Minnesota.
All of these things will be done with concern for preservation of the historical
structures on the site, conservation and protection of the environment, and
sustainability of the fairgrounds as a place where all users will have success with
their events.
