The fair provides students and parents an opportunity to explore a variety of options for continued education, technical training, or military service after high school. Representatives from over 60 educational institutions from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Manitoba will be available to answer questions and provide important information for post-high school planning. Structured like a trade show, students and parents are free to pick up literature and speak with representatives of those colleges and organizations that interest them.

The fair is sponsored by the Minnesota Association for College Admission Counseling (MACAC), which also hosts the National College Fair each fall in Minneapolis.
