(KNSI) – Minnesotans can walk into the state’s community vaccination sites including at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud to get a COVID-19 vaccination without an appointment starting Friday.
“To end this pandemic, we need as many Minnesotans vaccinated as possible, as quickly as possible,” Gov. Tim Walz said in a news release. “Walk-in vaccinations help us do just that by reducing barriers to make it even easier for folks to get their shot. The sooner we get shots in arms, the sooner we can get back to the things we love and the people we miss. We want Minnesotans to pile in the car, walk in to a state site and get the whole family vaccinated.”

(KNSI) – A statewide artisan goods fair is coming up this weekend in St. Cloud.
The Minnesota Artisan Fair by Midwest Handmade will be held at the River’s Edge Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Midwest Handmade says vendors from Minnesota and other states will all be selling handmade goods.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, tickets are required for admission during 1.5-hour shopping times to stagger how many people are in the building at once. However, the tickets are free and can be reserved online. Face masks are required.
Staff from 99.9 Lite FM will be at the fair with swag from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Though concessions and children’s games will not be available, attendees will still be entered into a door prize contest.
