Program: 12:30 - 1 pm, "Minnesota Olympian Athletes" presented by Patrick Mader. Minnesotans have long been known for their humble nature and work ethic, and as such have long taken great pride in their athletics. Minnesota Gold features compelling stories told by more than 100 Minnesota athletes participating in the Olympics, World Championships, and World Cups from 1948 – 2018. As they pursued their dreams and persevered to compete in the greatest international competitions, these diverse athletes represented their state with dignity and brought pride to sports fans in all regions. With memorable moments by Minnesota athletes at the 2018 Olympics, interest in Minnesota’s historical role in the Games is enthusiastic.  Author Patrick “Packy” Mader presents an engaging multimedia program as he shares the fascinating conversations he had with these remarkable men and women who honored their sport, their state, and their country on the world stage over the last seven decades and now “give back” to their sport and community.
