Let MNGOP know they should open their MNGOP Booth at this event. It’s worth every penny.

Nearly every year we have tried to get the MNGOP to open up their booth at the State Fairgrounds for this event. They probably could break even on the fee to do it, but they would unite with one of the largest Conservative anti-Gas Tax group.  They could also find classic car owners who might allow candidates a ride in various parades around Minnesota.

We are posting this event as a courtesy and do not benefit directly from doing so. Please dress for the weather, hydrate with water and electrolytes.

Saintpaulrepublicans.us does not get compensated for posting this for the MSRA or any of the sponsors in the posters.
