1995 AMPIC
The Minnesota Association of County Agricultural Agents (now known as MAEAP) hosted the 1995 AMPIC in Bloomington, MN, with the headquarters hotel being the Radisson South, on August 20-24, 1995. The Minnesota Association was awarded the bid at the 1991 AMPIC in Peoria, Illinois.
The Minnesota Association formed 21 committees to plan and host the event. The documents and photos posted on this page are provided as a historical reference of the event in gratitude to the dozens of Minnesota Association members who devoted many months, weeks, and hours in planning and working together in a spirit of cooperation to bring it to fruition and have it become a great success. These items can also serve as background information for any future AMPIC that the Minnesota Association may wish to host sometime down the road.
