MINNESOTA GOLD - MN OLYMPIANS
Patrick Mader
Patrick Mader has had a lifetime fascination with Minnesota sports, history, and geography. He combined those pursuits with his interest in elite international sporting events—primarily the Olympics—to research, interview, and write about the lives, challenges, and achievements of more than 100 living athletes from Minnesota who competed at the highest level. Patrick discovered compelling stories that he thought should be preserved—the result is Minnesota Gold and More Minnesota Gold, two fact-filled yet inspiring 400-page books in full-color that span the years 1948 – present, covering a wide range of sports, a balance of men and women, and represents every geographical part of the state. Please come to the engaging and entertaining multimedia event and discover Minnesota Gold!
