Get a COVID Shot at State Fair, Walk Away With $100 Reward

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Minnesotans who get their first COVID-19 vaccine dose at the State Fair can walk away with a $100 Visa gift card.

Gov. Tim Walz announced the State Fair edition of the state’s $100 reward program Wednesday.

The first 3,600 Minnesotans to get their first dose at the fair can claim their gift cards immediately afterward.

The State Fair deal follows a $100 incentive program that saw nearly 80,000 Minnesotans claim gift cards.

The free shots will be offered at a community vaccine clinic in the North End Event Center throughout the fair, which opens Thursday and runs through Labor Day.
