From Aaron Nicklay:
As part of the Centennial Celebration planned here in the Northern Star Council, we are planning to host a large, council-wide event for all of our Scouts and Scouters, the public, our alumni, our Eagle Scouts, and more. This will resemble Council Camporall's or Scout Fairs from past years, but bigger and better.
As such, we are currently seeking a site at which to hold such an event. Obviously, the logistics surrounding an event that could theoretically see 25,000 in attendance is fairly large. Easy access to roads, parking, enough space for a stage show, camping areas, buildings or places to put up tents for exhibitors, inside a 25-50 mile radius of downtown Minneapolis, are just a few of the things being studied. The attached document fully describes how we are surveying each of the sites that we are currently looking at, including the State Fair Grounds, the Renaissance Festival grounds, the Dakota County Fair Grounds and a couple of others.
I am asking for your help in identifying some additional places that we might not think of stumble on. If you know of a location that might fit the bill, please drop me an email and we'll send our site assessment team out to take a look at it.
Thanks,
