Winner of Flag Contest
Justin Utter, Winner We wish to thank all of those that submitted entries for the Village Flag Contest. They were all great entries and it was hard for the judges to come up with just one winner. Judging for the contest was held at the Town Council meeting on 03/25/03. There were eight (8) entries. The judges were Mayor Karl Bowers and George Smith. Each chose a separate entry so council members, Danny Starkey and Maureen Kull voted to break the tie. The winner of the Flag Contest was Justin Utter. Congratulations Justin! This is something to be proud of for it means a lot to our village and it will represent our village for many years to come. We appreciate you sharing your creativeness with us and for helping to create a better image for our village. For the present time, a picture of the flag will be posted in the town council window. When the flag has been created, the actual flag will hang in the window until the flag pole at the park has been installed. So keep watching the window to watch the changes and advancement of this project.
