Douglas K. Baldwin Award The D.K. Baldwin Award is presented by the Minnesota State Fair in memory of Mr. Baldwin, the general manager of the State Fair from 1951 to 1963. Mr. Baldwin represented the best of everything the State Fair has to offer and was an advocate for the FFA show initiated in 1948. During his tenure, the show expanded significantly. This award was designed to recognize the FFA member who exemplifies the “Best of Everything” at the State Fair, including the values Mr. Baldwin demonstrated in his professional life: honesty, integrity, commitment, cooperation, courtesy and competence.

Additional characteristics considered by the livestock superintendents, who make the selection, include the candidate’s participation in the State Fair FFA Livestock Show, their respect for and assistance to their fellow exhibitors, the judges, staff, and State Fair guests, and who demonstrates responsibility, dedication, leadership, moral character and sportsmanship.

These are qualities of our finest FFA members and are characteristics of past award winners who care about their fellow exhibitors, reaching out their minds and hands to help the next generation mature and grow in exhibiting livestock. This is the manner in which the State Fair FFA livestock show upholds its prime objective of excellence in human behavior and improvement of livestock to serve mankind.
