Happy Birthday Minnesota!



Minnesota is celebrating its' Sesquicentennial this year - 150 years of statehood. During statehood week, one city in each of its' five biomes was chosen to be " Capitol for a Day". Our city was representative of the Prairie Grasslands. There were celebrations, vists by the governor and lt. governor, a giant catfish release, food and music. But, to start the day off properly the National Guard and the Boy Scouts raised the flags. The American flag and the Minnesota Sesquicentennial one. Big Brother and Little Brother are the two scouts on the right side of the picture.
