Years of service and Derby dreams.
We’re rolling into the future with our sponsor, Chief John Harrington!

Chief Harrington has been a major part of Saint Paul, and the state of Minnesota as a whole for decades. He’s also a long-time sponsor of MNRD.

Sponsor graphic for Chief John Harrington.

The image is of a coat of arms on a gradiated blue background. The crest has three exterior elements: a knight's helmet on top, an English wolf on the right, and a Welsh dragon on the left. In the center of the crest is a banner that says "Chief", over a stylized image of the Minnesota State Capitol. Below that are three iconographic images of hands holding a hear, an open book, and a person leaping. The bottom banner reads "John M. Harrington" "Boreas Rex LXXXVIII"
