(ABC 6 News)- Things may be looking different at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds this week. That is because work continues on the new exhibition center at Graham Park, in what officials say is the start of a brand new era for Southeastern Minnesota. Even though the new center will be used year round, officials said it will play a key role at the Olmsted County Fair for years to come. “What that need is, we haven’t decided yet but the fair will be utilizing the exhibition center every year,” Swanson said. Olmsted County officials are hoping the exhibition center will open early next year in 2027.
