Bethany Field & Chris Korzen Brings Back Maine's Original State Flag

Bethany Field and Chris Korzen, owners and founders of Maine Flag Company and Original Maine, have been crafting flags for seven years in Portland, Maine. They started with the Maine Merchant & Marine Flag and have expanded to other designs including the popular and well-known Original 1901 Maine Flag. In celebration of Flag Day, I wanted to sit down with these two to learn more about the history of the first Maine state flag, the craft of flags and how Maine and its community helped their business grow. We also chat about the NY Times article that was recently released that talks about Maine's flags. Not only do they tell me that they recently produced their two thousandth Original 1901 Maine Flag, they tell me about their exciting sailing trip from Maine to Key West that took them six months.Please visit Maine Flag Company and Original Maine's websites to view their products. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to get updates on new products and promotions.
