Kids and Seniors day, graduation caps and the Wheel of Luck!!

Today is Kid's and Senior's Day at the State Fair, so we have had plenty of fun activities for fairgoers. North Hennepin Community College featured its "Picture yourself at NHCC" campaign. College representatives took photos of fairgoers in oversized graduation caps and spoke with many about what students can look forward to this year.

Kids visiting the booth enjoyed having their pictures taken by the
Communications Team from North Hennepin Community College.

Carmen Shoquist, communications director at North Hennepin Community College, said she was thrilled with the turnout at the booth. It was great to see so many people, young and old, having fun and learning about our system.

Located in Brooklyn Park, North Hennepin Community College encourages students to visit the campus for a tour. Although going back to school can seem overwhelming, North Hennepin offers a two-year degree for adult learners who attend classes two nights a week. Tours are held every Tuesday at 6 p.m. For additional information, call the admissions office at (763) 424-0702.

President of Minnesota West Community and Technical College,

We have had a busy day so far, and plenty of people have won some great prizes at the Wheel of Luck. Our hosts today included President Richard Shrubb of Minnesota West Community and Technical College, President Keith Stover of South Central College and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Trustee Dan McElroy.
