I recently received a Harbor Freight sales flyer. Of course everything's priced ridiculously low (but that's another subject). I noticed the "3 ft. x 5 ft. American flag with embroidered stars... $7.95" had the footnote "Not available in Minnesota." Why is that? Maybe someone from Minnesota can help with the answer?
"Not available in Minnesota."

The flag on harbor freight is made in China. MN has a law that makes it a crime to sell an American flag made anywhere but USA.

Works for me.

I am a fan of the law myself. I buy my Dad, a Navy Vet, a new flag every year for Veterans Day. He flies his flag 365, and after a year it can be pretty tattered. You can really tell the difference in the US made flags. They aren't nearly as worn after a year as the China made flags were. They were practically shredded.
+1, I like this thread!
Here in San Antonio we have the Dixie Flag Company. I think they have the world record for making the biggest U.S. Flag. So down here we don't even have to buy one that's not made in Texas! (even better)

Nope, Jesse was governor from 1999-2003. This bill was passed in 2007 and went into effect Jan 1, 2008.

Hello all,
I fly a (made in USA) [Nylon] flag from April thru November.
They were getting ripped from the wind & I could
only get 1 year out of a flag ($20.00).
But, after noticing where they were ripping -
Along the sewed seams & corners farthest from pole.
I can now get 2-3 years out of a flag by:
Apply a small amount of Super Glue to where I know the
flag will ripe.
Warning: The glue will stiffen the nylon flag, so I only apply the glue in small areas.
Works good though.
After 3 years, the flag is sligtly ripped,
and greatly faded.
I think when the USA flag was designed, they knew they will rip in the wind.
Thats why the Stars are on the inside.

I'm back.
Now that I think of it, what I might try next is -
Loctite
Vinyl, Fabric & Plastic
Flexible Adhesive
It comes in a small tube.
Aslong as it adheres to the nylon, it may prevent the problem of stiffness with the Super Glue.
