>> THANKS, COLLIN.

IN THE HEART OF THE MINNESOTA

STATE FAIR LIES A TASTE OF THE

NORTHWOODS.

IN THIS WEEK'S NORTHWOODS

ADVENTURE OUR JOSH PETERSON

TOURS THE MINNESOTA DNR EXHIBIT

AND FINDS OUT WHAT MAKES IT ONE

OF THE MOST POPULAR SPOTS AT THE

FAIR.

>> SURROUNDED BY THE BIG CITY,

THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR PRIDES

ITSELF ON SHOWCASING THE BEST

THAT MINNESOTA HAS TO OFFER, AND

ONE WAY THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED IS

THROUGH THE MINNESOTA DNR

EXHIBIT, WHICH LIES IN THE HEART

OF THE FAIRGROUNDS.

>> WHILE THIS DNR EXHIBIT IS ONE

OF THE MOST POPULAR EXHIBITS

HERE AT THE STATE FAIR, WE THINK

THAT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF

THE FAIR, OVER 500,000 PEOPLE

WILL COME BY OUR EXHIBIT TO SEE

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR

MINNESOTA NATURAL RESOURCES.

>> THE DNR EXHIBIT IS A WAY TO

ESCAPE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF

THE BIG CITY WITHOUT HAVING TO

LEAVE THE FAIRGROUNDS.

ITS NATURAL SETTING LEAVES

VISITORS FEELING LIKE THEY'RE IN

ONE OF MINNESOTA'S BEAUTIFUL

STATE PARKS.

>> IN THIS LITTLE CORNER HERE,

YOU HAVE THE DNR EXHIBIT.

IT'S LIKE, THERE'S A FISH POND

HERE, LOG CABIN HERE, ANIMALS

HERE HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

IT IS KIND OF A SLICE OF THE

OUTDOORS RIGHT HERE IN THE

MIDDLE OF WHAT KIND OF IS A

CITY.

>> THE MINNESOTA DNR USES THE

EXHIBIT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE

MINNESOTA'S NATURAL BEAUTY AND

REACH A BROADER AUDIENCE.

A LARGE IMPORTANT PART HERE IS

TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET OUT

AND EXPLORE THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

ONE PARTICULAR FEATURE IS ONE OF

THE MOST VISITED AT THE ENTIRE

FAIR.

AT ANY GIVEN TIME DURING THE

DAY, YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE

CROWDING AROUND A GIANT POND

THAT IS HOME TO OVER 40

DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FISH.

>> I LIKE TO USE IT AS A TIME

JUST TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THOSE

AND SOME OF THE OTHER SPECIES

THAT WE HAVE OR MAYBE THEY DON'T

KNOW OR CAN'T IDENTIFY EASILY

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT COMMON.

>> EVERYONE AT THE POND LOOKS ON

WITH WONDER AND EXCITEMENT.

IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOU CAN SEE

THIS MANY FISH AT ONE TIME IN

ONE LOCATION.

WHETHER YOU'RE YOUNG OR OLD, THE

FISH POND IS A FAVORITE FOR MANY

STATE FAIR VISITORS.

>> WELL, WE GO FISHING A LOT,

AND I JUST LIKE TO SEE ALL THE

DIFFERENT FISH IN HERE, BECAUSE

THEN I CAN KIND OF HOPEFULLY

IDENTIFY WHAT I CAUGHT.

>> I LIKE HOW THERE'S SO MANY

DIFFERENT KINDS OF FISH, AND I

KIND OF LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT

FISH I'VE CAUGHT AND NOT --

HAVEN'T CAUGHT.

>> BEYOND THE POND LIES PLENTY

OF OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE ALL

ASPECTS OF MINNESOTA NATURE,

PROVIDING INFOTAINMENT FOR THE

COST OF FREE ADMISSION W THIS

WEEK'S NORTHWOODS ADVENTURE, IN
