In 2016, Olivia was the winner. In 2017, Bird Island was the winner and was featured at the Fair Grounds for the 2019 Renville County Fair. In 2018, Fairfax was the winner and is the current town featured in the Main Museum and will be featured at the 2020 Renville County Fair. 2019 there were five towns in the running: Danube ($35.12), Buffalo Lake ($4.00), Hector ($22.57), Renville ($12.36) & Sacred Heart ($5.10). Included in the Danube donation bucket were two tokens for Ricky J’s Car Wash which are not factored into the dollar donation total. Congratulations to the City of Danube for winning to be the 2020 Featured Town in the Main Museum. The Renville County Historical Society will start accepting donations and loans for this exhibit September 1, 2019! The exhibit will open April 1, 2020!
