2012 CHS MIRACLE OF BIRTH CENTER

Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (3 p.m. on Labor Day) on Judson Avenue at Clough Street

This agricultural education exhibit is the birthplace of approximately 200 animals including calves, lambs and piglets during the fair’s 12 day run.

The most popular free exhibit on the fairgrounds moved to its new, larger home for the 2006 State Fair. Three times its former size, the new CHS Miracle of Birth Center allows more visitors the opportunity to learn about animal agriculture production, veterinary science and the birthing process.

Sitting just east of the Coliseum, the center serves as a gateway to the historic livestock area. The complex is also home to the FFA Chapter House & Leadership Center, which offers expanded meeting and educational space.

The Minnesota State Fair Foundation 501(c)(3) invites you to support agricultural education and the most beloved free exhibit on the fairgrounds. Hundreds of contributors, committed to agricultural education, have stepped forward.
