gerbMNSFA Brings customers to your door! 

MNSFA is  proud to sponsor the rotunda in the Horticulture Building for 12  days at the Great Minnesota State Fair. We believe order gathers such as Pro-Flowers, Flowerpetal.com,  and 1800flowers.com are taking business away from the neighborhood florist and the consumer needs to be shown the  difference. MNSFA is focusing our efforts to combat companies  and have put together the following program:    

  • A brochure featuring the  LOCAL florist.  Inside  a coupon redeemable for $10*.
  • In the center of the  rotunda a huge banner outlining  the state of MN.  We will  list the name of YOUR SHOP & where you are from.
  • Together with Len Busch Roses, MNSFA will have a drawing for FREE WEDDING FLOWERS. Details to follow.
  • MNSFA & LBR is sponsoring TWO
     Flowers for  Kids  Presentations & giving away  flowers for the 1st 100 kids.
  • The  Designer of the  Year  Competition—Sept. 2 nd & 3rd- where your shop can enter & show off  the your talents!
