Once Again The Key Guys Will Be At "Back To The 50's" June 22-24 2018 at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. This is their 11th Year where they meet and enjoy Minnesota's "Car People."


“We wouldn’t miss it,” says Brian Nystrom, owner of The Key Guys. “It’s great fun and we love car people.”


Over 300 vendors will be displaying their goods at this years event, June 22-24. Most like Brian have attended for many years. “This will be my eleventh year,” Brian explains. “Its a good way to connect within and across the industry.” For example, “We do a lot of key work for car dealers, rental agencies, service stations, etc, not just the general public.” “Events like this allow us to reach out to both the general public and the industry.”


Back to the 50s is celebrating it’s 45th year, and was named by USA Today Readers as the “Best Car Show” for two years running:, 2016 & 2017. Brian expects it to be even better this year compared to last. “We had a very cold and windy weekend last year,” Brian relates. He hopes for better weather this year. “But even in the cold and rain last year, we had a lot of fun,” Brian concludes.


Twin City based, The Key Guys is a specialty car locksmith. They claim to be the first and best certified automotive locksmith in the Minneapolis St Paul metro area.


The Key Guys fix ignitions and car doors, remove broken car keys and replace lost car keys. They duplicate and program all electronic or smart keys, and repair or replace key fobs as well as cut traditional old style car keys.
