If you want some ideas about how people around Minnesota are trying to make a difference in the communities they live in, drop by Carousel Park at the State Fair on Saturday for the Minnesota Community Pride Showcase. Thirty entries from among 67 were selected to demonstrate how people have collaborated to improve things.

The project was hosted by InCommons, where you can find out more, and also sponsored by the Minnesota State Fair and MinnPost.
