Two flags, one spirit

United States and Oregon Flags - Stayton Oregon

United States and Oregon Flags - Stayton OregonThese two flags fly together at the public library in Stayton. The top, obviously, is the United States flag, and the bottom is Oregon’s. Our flag is actually two sided, with an image of a beaver on the back (seen at right), since Oregon is the beaver state.

For those inclined to joke about our state nickname, trust us, we’ve heard ‘em all. :)

50states.com has some interesting info on the Oregon flag, and includes the graphics used on both sides of the flag.
