The Great Minnesota Get-Together is right around the corner – and we have a FREE ticket just for you! Spend a few hours at the MHA booth in the Education exhibit building…and have the rest of the day to stay and play at the Fair, courtesy of MHA.
The Minnesota Homeschoolers’ Alliance is the only homeschooling organization that meets the public at the Fair. Every year we’re approached by families large and small, teachers, college professors, politicians and others who tell us how great it is to see MHA promoting the homeschooling option in the Education Building. It’s always gratifying to see the positive response the public has to homeschooling.
Staffing the booth is a very rewarding experience for our members. Here are some comments they’ve entered in the journal we keep at the State Fair Booth:
“We had a great morning here. Pretty busy - steady flow of people. Lots of interest in homeschooling. New people just getting started and glad that we were here with such great resources.”
“Had a few people who were looking into the option. Most had preschoolers. A few were parents of teens looking for alternatives. Great discussions!”
“Another great year at the booth - many good questions!”
“Our family loves manning the MHA booth.”
The Education Building opens at 9:00 a.m. and closes at 9:00 p.m. every day of the Fair. This means that we have three four-hour shifts to fill each day:
- 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Volunteer Requirements: Be a friendly, smiling homeschool face (and a member of MHA). Seriously. That’s it.
Several shifts are available – feel free to bring your spouse or a homeschool friend to share in the fun. Reserve your spot now at Volunteer Spot!
