“I loved my summer at the fair! The staff is super friendly and are open to letting you try new things and wear a lot of different hats. I primarily worked on social media, but had the opportunity to get my hands on advertising, media pitches, copy editing, data entry, and more. You also get to meet a TON of cool people and make a lot of connections with professionals from around the twin cities since they all come together for The Great Minnesota Get-Together!”

“I liked that every day was different. In the beginning we spent more time indoors working on projects, but as the summer went on we spent more time outdoors physically installing signs. I wore many hats in this job and did a lot more than just design. Oftentimes our printed designs needed post-production work , like trimming, sewing, grommet holes, and installation (usually involving the use of power tools), all of which I did alone or with a second pair of hands, but never was a project just handed off to someone else to complete.”
