Nathan Regier at work in the CHS Miracle of Birth Center
NATHAN REGIER, SON of John and Amy Regier of Mountain Lake, and a member of the Mountain Lake Area (MLA) FFA Chapter, was featured on KARE 11 on Wednesday afternoon, September 2, as he worked in the CHS Miracle of Birth Center on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Regier was selected to be part of the experience that brings the farm to the city. He will be working in the Miracle of Birth Center through Labor Day. The CHS Miracle of Birth Center, a one-of-a-kind agricultural education exhibit, is the birthplace of nearly 200 calves, lambs, goats and piglets during the 12 days of the Minnesota State Fair. The CHS Miracle of Birth Center is the most popular free exhibit on the fairgrounds. It debuted in 2001 and moved to its current location just east of the Warner Coliseum in 2006. Fair guests have the opportunity to learn about animal agriculture production, veterinary science and the birthing process. The exhibit is staffed by veterinarians, members of the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) and FFA students. With live births and newborn farm animals, the exhibit highlights the importance of animals to our economy, health and quality of life. The CHS Miracle of Birth Center is also home to the FFA Chapter House and Leadership Center, which offers expanded meeting and educational space.
