Take a Stand!
A friend of mine is a designer. The design he submitted for Utah's state quarter is one of the final three selected and you (yes you!) can vote on it!

His is the one with the trains (by far the most evocative and significant and beautiful -- I mean, a SNOWBOARDER?? Puh-lease!)
Go there. Vote for it.
Thank you.
Oh, and for y'alls amusement... a lovely little site that Estelle pointed me in the direction of.

The train is definitely the best one. I hope the beehive is not selected!
I agree with you about the train. How many Utah residents really snowboard? And the beehives on the road signs are, well, pretty annoying. No one outside Utah knows why you guys are the 'Beehive State' - does it have something to do with the LDS?
But besides telling why the others are worse, I'll tell you why the train is BETTER. It's because of the Golden Spike, which was a Big Deal in its day - and still is. (Think the internet of 150 years ago.) So THERE, and kudos to your friend for having a vision.
(Unfortunately, as my graphic designer spouse will be glad to tell you, the client always chooses the design the artist likes the least, then complains about the price. Good luck.)
Choo Choo!! I just voted! :)
DONE!
