Since the program began in 1976, over 6,000 Minnesota farms have been recognized. Each year, Century Farm recipients receive an outdoor sign designating the farm as a “Century Farm” and a certificate signed by the Governor of Minnesota and the president of the State Fair.

How can you tell if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it’s raw. If it spins easily, it’s hard boiled. A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float. “Serving the Brainerd Lakes Area every day and half of the Twin Cities on weekends.” 2016 AITKIN COUNTY FAIR BOOK h 53 h www.aitkincountyfair.org ASPHALT PAVING AGGREGATES EARTH WORK UTILITIES CONCRETE 2016 Aitkin County Fair Schedule of Events Brainerd Area 218-829-1768 Walker Area 218-547-1952 Detroit Lakes/Perham 218-436-6004 AndersonBrothers.com PAGE 5 YOUR TRUSTED ENERGY EXPERT 24/7 If it means getting the lights back on for even one family, we are glad to do whatever it takes.
