The Enterprise asked random people in


downtown Park Rapids, “Do you like any of the
six finalists for the new Minnesota state flag
design?” These are their answers. Editor's note:
As of Dec. 12, the state flag commission
narrowed the field to three finalists .

Jean Greseth: "I've been following the controversy in the news. I


think I like the loon, the abstract one, No. 6." Robin Fish / Park
Rapids Enterprise

Liz Stone: "I'm not crazy about any of them. I prefer the flag we
already have." Robin Fish / Park Rapids Enterprise

Miguel Baerga: "I like the sixth best. It's kind of like a river, like the
Mississippi River, or lakes, and of course, the North Star, and some
ice." Robin Fish / Park Rapids Enterprise

Sue Finsaas: "I do like No. 6. It kind of has a Northern Lights look,
with the star. And it could be the river, too. Rivers, lakes." Robin
Fish / Park Rapids Enterprise

Bernie Gearin: "I would prefer to see the choice for the State Seal
be used as the flag." Robin Fish / Park Rapids Enterprise

Meagan Jarvi: "I kind of like No. 2. It's kind of Scandinavian


looking, which suits Minnesota." Robin Fish / Park Rapids
Enterprise
