General Information

• All fairgrounds storage facilities are unheated; therefore, your storage item must be winterized.
• The Minnesota State Fair/Minnesota State Agricultural Society does not carry insurance on stored items. It is your responsibility to carry insurance on your stored item.
• Once an item is stored, it is considered to be in dead storage. This means the customer will not be able to remove the unit before the assigned removal date. Please note: Removal postcards are mailed no later than March 1.
• If you cannot make it on the assigned date, please have other arrangements made so the unit is picked up on that date. All units that cannot be picked up on their assigned date are subject to relocation on the grounds and may be left outside. In addition, there is a $40/ day fee for units that cannot be picked up on their assigned date.
• The State Fair/Society storage requirements are listed below. Please read them carefully before applying for storage space.

Storage Department Requirements

1. All portable propane/butane gas tanks and portable fuel tanks must be removed or emptied by order of the Fire Marshall. (Reference NFPA, Chapter 5, paragraph 5100.) Exception: container 2 1/2 lbs. and under, not exceeding 24 containers.
2. Storage of “5th wheel” travel trailers and semi-tractors and trailers CANNOT be accommodated in any fairgrounds buildings.
3. The storage department does NOT provide any in/out storage. Your unit, once stored, is considered to be in dead storage. This means the customer will not be able to remove the unit before the assigned removal date.
4. Vehicles are stored on assigned dates in the fall and are removed from storage on assigned dates in the spring. All removal dates are scheduled in late March or early April. Removal dates are assigned in order to limit the moving of your unit. If you are unable to keep your removal appointment, we will charge $40 for each additional day we store your unit. Due to limited space, your unit may be stored outside after the removal date.
5. For customers who wish to check on their stored vehicle, there will be a $25 per one-half hour entry fee charged to gain entrance to the area where the unit is stored. Entry appointments must be made 48 hours in advance. These appointments are not for removing vehicles.
6. When storing a motorized vehicle such as a car, motor home, truck, etc., you are required to provide a complete set of keys for the vehicle to the State Fair storage department. No units may be stored on blocks, nor may tires be removed or radiator antifreeze be drained from the unit placed in storage. All units must be movable, and batteries may not be removed from any car, truck, motor home, etc.
7. Boat motors should be positioned so that there is enough clearance while moving the unit in and out of storage.
8. The storage department must have a phone number and email address on file where you can be reached in case of an emergency.
9. The storage department reserves the right to place units where the department deems most appropriate.
10. All storage locations are unheated; therefore, your unit must be winterized.
11. It is the customer’s responsibility to carry insurance on the stored unit. The Society (State Fair) assumes no responsibility for any loss, damage, vandalism, destruction, security or protection of property which is placed in storage.
12. All units will be measured from “tip to tip” including the tongue on trailers. This measurement may not agree with your title card.
13. The storage department recommends that you cover your vehicle.
