Voters Pick New Minnesota License Plate

A week after casting more than 30,000 online votes, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources unveiled the winning license plate designed by Michelle Vesaas of Coon Rapids.

The plate provides their owners with unlimited access to all 75 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas for the year, replacing the need for an annual vehicle permit.

The plate’s cost starts at $60 that includes a $10 fee for the plate and a $50 contribution to benefit the state’s parks and trails.
