With some exterior work, this WPA building has become quite attractive. When I worked in it form 1970-77 as the public information specialist for 4-H, it smelled like a toilet inside and was quite dingy and dark. It was a good time with enthusiastic 4-H staff like Leonard Harkness and Juanita Reed.
Teens performed from across the state long before we knew “Glee.” We prepared hometown news releases, copied on a ditto machine and mailed to newspapers in an adjacent trailer. (The 4-H Building at the Minnesota State Fair. Leila Navidi, State Tribune, Saturday)
