(KNSI) – You’ll soon see some snowplows on Minnesota roads with names on them after the department of transportation held a contest After more than 122,000 votes cast, the eight winners are:
Darth Blader–District 3 (St. Cloud area)
Plowy McPlowFace–Metro District
Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya–District 4
Duck Duck Orange Truck–District 1
Plow Bunyan–Distrtict 2
Snowbi Wan Kenobi–District 6
F. Salt Fitzgerald–District 7
The Truck Formerly Known as Plow–District 8
The agency first invited people to submit creative ideas for snowplow names in mid-December.
After more than 22,000 names were submitted, MnDOT staff narrowed down the list to 50 finalists for the public to vote on.
These 50 names were determined by considering several factors, including how creative or unique the name was, whether it would be understandable or identifiable to broad audiences, and the frequency of submissions.
