The new 12 x 18 foot flag was raised over Landslide Park in Crookston on Wednesday night. Crookston Parks and Recreation Director Scott Riopelle commented on the occasion, “We thank the Luckow family, Kirk was instrumental in helping put this together. A lot of people here tonight to see the raising and they get to see it in the dark which is pretty nice with the lights.”
Kirk Lukow who was a major contributor to the flag becoming a reality. “I’ve always wanted to see another beautiful flag as you enter the city of the Crookston,” said Lukow. “Mostly as a thank you to the community, to all hardworking Americans, all our hardworking towns-folks, the farmers around the area. And last but not least in honor of our fallen, veterans and all those presently serving our country.”
The large flag will be flown at 60 feet high, so people entering town on Highway 2 from the west won’t miss the new Crookston landmark
