Rockford Hills (City Hall) – Over a month ago we launched a long process of renewing what our state symbols mean to our current citizenry, starting with finding our new state animal and state flower in the Cougar and Poppy, ending with the recent competition for a new design for our state flag. After weeks and much difficulty, we narrowed down 30 beautiful entries to just seven. Those seven were then put up to citizen vote where one victor remained:
We are pleased to announce the winner of the State Flag selection was option 4, submitted by Maxxi Whitescale. For those curious, the vote counts can be viewed here. We in the Governor’s office thank all participants for their contributions, we are forever amazed by the artistic skill this state holds and proud that you have allowed us to witness that talent.
