State Representative David Bly, District 25B

According to Northfield blogger Debbie Nitz from the Northfield.org website:

“As the state’s Sesquicentennial draws closer, two ambassadors are making their way across Minnesota. These emissaries are banners that will make stops at libraries in every county in Minnesota before returning to St. Paul on May 11th, 2008 for the 150th anniversary of statehood. The banner will be in Northfield on Thursday, May 8th through Friday, May 9th.
The banner will be presented to Northfield officials by the James Gang. Each banner is accompanied by a leather-bound journal in which visitors can write thoughts about Minnesota and the Sesquicentennial. People are invited to sign the journal at Bridge Square on Thursday, May 8th after a ceremonial presentation beginning at 6pm. The banner and the journal will be at the Northfield Public Library all day Friday from 9:30am – 5:30pm. Booker, the Northfield Bookmobile will transport the banner and journal to St. Paul on Saturday, May 10. Both items will be presented to the Governor at Statehood Weekend in May, and eventually will find a home with the Minnesota Historical Society.”
