State Fair
What
is the Agrilympics Contest?
The
Agrilympics Contest is a series of celebrity team events,
each with an agricultural flavor, run in conjunction with
the Moo Booth and the Baa Booth at the Minnesota State Fair.
Now in its eleventh year,
the Agrilympics are made up of four events:
* Cow Milking Contest
* Animal Calling
* Wool Pack-O-Rama
* Butter Carving
Celebrity teams battle for supremacy, with individual awards
along the way. At the end, the top three teams receive
Olympic-style medals, and bragging rights... until next year!
The
Agri-lympics Contest is not endorsed by, nor is it affiliated
with, the International Olympics Commission (IOC).
