Special Request from a third-grade student in Virginia

This young man was assigned to learn more about Minnesota for a State Fair project. He is looking to collect some items such as poscards, pictures, souvenirs, and other unique items about Minnesota pride. He has questions he would love to learn about such as: Why do you live in your state? What is your job? What do people in Minnesota do for fun? What traditional foods or recipes are Minnesotan? What music from our state is important to you? Describe the geography of our state that appeals most to you.

He needs the information by early May. You could send it to:
