**The 2024 Carlton County Fair is now history. It was great event this year. Many of our members sold local honey, and we sold nearly 5000 honey sticks to eager visitors. Vistor traffic to our displays was above average. The following dated announcement for this past season has been left live for historical reference only.**
In 2023:
More than 30,000 people visited the Carlton County Fair!
We sold out of 3000 honey sticks by Saturday afternoon!!
One way that we support our association’s mission of education and outreach is with our Carlton County Fair Bee Hut and Pollinator Gardens. This is also a big fundraiser for NEMNBA. 15% of honey sales go to our association.
Volunteer opportunities include being a Bee Hut Greeter, helping with Honey Sales, and squeezing for Honey Tasting.
