Bring your pennies to the KARE Barn at the Minnesota State Fair - there are four new options to make a 2024 collectible!

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — Most folks who head out to the Great Minnesota Get-Together will leave plenty of dollars in the hands of vendors and attractions. 

But you can take something really awesome home with you, too.... and all it costs is a penny. 

The KARE 11 Penny Press sits inside our big red barn on Nelson and Judson, and this year, we're offering four new options to create your own collectible. 

They are:

OK, the lake-loving creature with the beaming eyes didn't make the new Minnesota state flag, but the design quickly developed a HUGE following, becoming sort of a beloved unofficial mascot

We'll have one of the official chairs on display in the barn, and you can now imprint one on your penny as well.

The PWHL's version of Lord Stanley's Cup, won by our Minnesota team to conclude the up-and-coming league's first year. 

And don't forget... the Penny Press isn't the only awesome thing to be found inside the KARE Barn. You can rehydrate with free water, catch live bands on the KARE 11 Stage, play trivia with the Sunrise Crew of Alicia Lewis, Jason Hackett, John Zeigler and Cece Gaines, or sit in the audience and take part in a live broadcast of KARE 11 News at 4, 5 or 6 p.m. 

Come see us, and DON'T forget those pennies!!!
