Minnesota Public Radio Live at the 2000 State Fair

MPR at the Minnesota State Fair
August 24 - September 4, 2000

Minnesota Public Radio's broadcast booth at the 2000 State Fair was a spectacular success! Our broadcasts featured political debates; live broadcasts of Midday, Midmorning, and the Morning Show; and a special Fair-only presentation - Songs of the State and the Fair. We even had a Web Day at the MPR booth - including live images of hosts, guests, and the State Fair crowd. Take a moment to enjoy some of the highlights from MPR's booth at the 2000 State Fair.
