Welcome to the home page of the 2013 ADGA National Show which is being held at the
Minnesota State Fairgrounds, in St. Paul, MN.

All of the members of the Minnesota Dairy Goat Association want to encourage you all to join us for a week of fun, excitement and beautiful dairy goats from July 6 through 13 at ADGA's most prestigious dairy goat show. We are also very excited to be bringing back the National Show Welcome Dinner...more information coming soon!

We chose the MN State Fairgrounds for many reasons including its central location midway between Minneapolis and St. Paul, the accessibility to many major highways including I94 running east-west and I 35 running north-south, the availability of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport just 10 miles from the grounds, multiple local shopping areas and attractions as well as the beauty of the fairgrounds itself.

The MN State Fairgrounds is a 320-acre facility renowned for its beautiful gardens and architecture reflecting the art deco and Works Progress Administration eras. The livestock facilities are exceptional and will feature the new AgStar Arena built in 2012. This facility is a 27,000 square foot livestock and equine building featuring a 16,000 square foot oval show ring with enhanced lighting and a state-of-the-art sound system. The fairgrounds is also centrally located in the upper Midwest for exhibitors from all over the country to attend.

 It's going to be a GREAT week and a fabulous show.....won't you come and join us??

For those of you who have never visited the great state of Minnesota,
we've included some "informational videos" to help you plan for the trip
