KNOW YOUR STATE! Game
 

Okay, easy deal. How well do you know your state?

I will start off by asking a legit question about your state, as in something that represents it (state bird, state flag, state flower, governor, year founded, etc.) You may also ask a detailed question about such things (i.e. what do the colours/symbol on your flag stand for?)

The first person to answer correctly asks the next question. Then the first person to post their answer correctly can ask the next question....and so on......we can go by just trusting what the person above answered with, but please answer with truth. understand? ok.......

I will start by asking this:
