Anger and determination are among the emotions reflected in

Frankenmuth residents in the face of a pending legal challenge

by Lloyd Clarke to the Christian symbolism of the city shield.

 

President and C-E-O Wayne Bronner of Bronner's Christmas

Wonderland says his late father Wally helped design the shield

which he insists accurately reflects the community's founding

by Lutheran missionaries. Bronner says removing the "Luther"

rose would detract from the people who built and run Frankenmuth.

Bronner and some 100 other people came to the Frankenmuth City

Council meeting to hear Clarke's presentation. The city says it

will defend the legality of its shield in court if necessary.
