The Minnesota House of Representa­ tives had a Grand Prize year at the 1988 State Fair. Education Building officials presented an outstanding exhibit award to the information display. New this year, the computerized "Legislative Notebook" encouraged fairgoers to check out legislators' biographies, committee assignments and photos, and demographics for the entire House. A color photo display depicted the art and architecture of the House Chamber in the State Capitol. Returning favorites included the computerized Government I.Q. Quiz and, for the children, the State Symbols Game. And more than 4,700 people voted in the Unofficial State Fair Opinion Poll. For the fifteenth year, House members and staff were on hand all 12 days of the fair to visit with fairgoers and answer questions.
