The Tenth Annual Agrilympics
at the Minnesota 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 tenth 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).
