| | New State Fair CEO oversees her first Great Minnesota Get-Together |
Renee Alexander has been to the Minnesota State Fair more times than she can remember as a visitor and employee, but Thursday’s opening day marks her first as general manager. She is also the first woman in the top job.
Her future goals include finding ways to lower barriers for new vendors and figuring out ways to help entrepreneurs get into the fair without gambling a huge stake on food or merchandise for the 12-days of business.
