Then & Now: Kemps State Fair Photo Contest

I received compensation for help in promoting this contest.

The Minnesota State Fair, aka The Great Minnesota Get Together, has been part of Minnesota tradition since 1859 (a year after Minnesota was granted statehood). In it’s present location since 1885, the Minnesota State Fair now features 320 acres of food and fun; and is the largest state fair in the United States by average daily attendance boasting upwards of 200,00 attendees a day!

Just like the state fair, Kemps has also been a Minnesota tradition for generations. From it’s beginnings as a small creamery in Southeastern Minnesota in 1914, to operating six manufacturing facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin with over 1,200 employees, Kemps delights families with their milk, ice cream and milk products.

To celebrate special family memories and to create memories that will stick with families for years to come, Kemps has come up with the ‘Then & Now: Kemps State Fair Photo Contest’. Rich in history and the culture of Minnesota, the Minnesota State Fair is the perfect backdrop for this contest.

Now through August 9, fans can submit their favorite past photos of family and friends at the Great Minnesota Get Together for the chance to reunite and “recreate” the photo at the fair (even if you or the people in the photo live out of state!). Kemps will select three grand prize winners who will receive a year’s supply of Kemps ice cream and a trip to the State Fair.

The three winners will be announced in August and must be available to travel to the Minnesota State Fair between Aug. 27 and Sept. 7. Kemps will bring up to 10 people photographed in the original photo and will pay all expenses including airfare and accommodation. At the fair, the reunited group will recreate the photo in the same location that the original picture was taken. How cool is that?!?
