This collage shows some of the 2024 Minnesota State Fair winning entries from Eden Prairie residents.
Out of thousands of entrants in the 2024 Minnesota State Fair competitions, an impressive array of Eden Prairie residents and students wowed judges with their talent, hard work, and creativity.
Eden Prairie Local News (EPLN) recently posted a list of local winners in categories from photography to horticulture and maple syrup-making. Entrants ranged from students who submitted artwork and technology in the K-12 education competition to veteran bakers, artists, and quilters.
EPLN visited the State Fair to photograph many of these entries, but we weren’t able to capture them all. If you know of any other Eden Prairie residents who should be listed among this year’s winners, or if you don’t see at least one photographed example of someone’s submissions and would like to submit one, please email editor@eplocalnews.org.
