Over the past few years I've become more and more accustomed to St. Paul's Winter Carnival. Some really good friends of mine (started out as Jess's really good friends) are really into the carnival. When I learned (thru them) that there were carnival bobbleheads several years ago, they immediately went on my want list. At the time, I didn't know what they even looked like, just that one was of Klondike Kate and one was a Vulcan. I was able to come across these over the past few months and am glad they are part of my collection. I've heard stories that there might be different variations of each - perhaps given out in different years. If you know anything - and I mean, anything about these bobbleheads...Please leave a comment!

Winter Carnival Bobbleheads
We aren't close to winter but I've been sitting on this post for a while. I'll probably repost it or update it come January but for now I wanted to get it out and try to learn more about these 2 bobbleheads.

Rare Minnesota Personalities
I've started to expand my collection of bobbleheads a little bit. When I started this journey...I was mainly interested in sports bobbleheads but would pick up random Minnesota bobbleheads when I saw them for a bargain. Lately I've been more focused on these random Minnesota bobbleheads. I'm sure there are plenty that I have absolutely no clue about. Here's a picture of 4 bobbleheads I've picked up in the last couple of months.
From left to right.
Roger Moe (mini bobblehead). He ran for Governor in 2002.
Ted Marti. President of Schell's Brewery.
William F. Austin. Better known as Bill. Founder and CEO of Starkey Hearing Foundation.
Klondike Kate. Also known as Kathleen Rockwell. St. Paul Winter Carnival Personality
I have several other "Minnesota Personality" bobbleheads but please...please share yours with me. I know there are plenty that I don't know about! I'd like to gather as much information about them as I can. So send pictures to me personally or share links in the comments section. My sincere thanks in advance!
