The Minnesota State Fair's slogan is "The Great Minnesota Get-Together." The state fairgrounds, adjacent to the Saint Paul campus of the University of Minnesota, are in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, midway between the state's capital city of St. Paul and the adjacent city of Roseville, near the Como Park and Saint Anthony Park neighborhoods of Saint Paul. Residents of the state and region come to the fair to be entertained, exhibit their best livestock, show off their abilities in a variety of fields including art and cooking, learn about new products and services, and eat many different types of food often on a stick. The fair runs for twelve days from late August into early September, ending on Labor Day.

Machine 4: This is an 8 die machine, but only presses 4 dies at a time. The other four designs were the Machine 1 dies.
