The Steele County Free Fair and Owatonna Motor Company are excited to bring a new strolling act to the 2021 fair. Max Power & NITRO
At 9’ tall & 5’ wide and decorated with extensive LED lighting, MAX POWER towers over crowds - visible from across the grounds. His video chest allows sponsor advertisements to run as he strolls. MAX’s detailed facial features make him photogenic & life-like. MAX walks, talks, dances, and more - creating an instant party wherever he shows up! Equipped with a built-in sound system for playing music and interacting with your guests, MAX runs the show solo when he is not with his monster truck NITRO.
People of all ages line up to meet MAX POWER and take photos with him & NITRO.
Community Pathways of Steele County, Inc. have held two Truck to Trunk food distributions on the fairgrounds, and will hold another one on Thursday, April 22nd. Community Pathways of Steele County welcomes families in need to these distributions. No registration is necessary, simply drive up (entering from 18th street) and they will put a box of perishables, such as meat, dairy and produce in your vehicle. The first two events were very well attended.
