BEMIDJI — The Mississippi Headwaters Audubon Society will launch its 2027 Membership Drive during the Beltrami County Fair, set for Aug. 12-16. ADVERTISEMENT"Your local membership helps our community take flight," a release said. The release adds that MHAS membership is separate from membership in the National Audubon Society. Anyone who shows proof of purchasing or renewing a 2027 MHAS membership during the fair will receive a free membership sticker and an entry into a fair prize drawing while supplies last. The 2027 membership is valid for the rest of 2026 at no additional cost.
