The Minnesota State Legislature is evaluating the impact of Legacy Amendment funding that we use here at Pioneer Public TV to produce shows like Postcards and other locally produced Arts, Culture and History programs. It would help us greatly if you could take a minute to fill out and return this short survey about how watching our programs has increased your appreciation for local artists, our communities and area historical and cultural attractions.
