Congratulations to Garden Plain, Kansas for winning the Kansas City Flag Wars!
It won against Iola in a very close final poll with 52.2 percent of the vote.
It was adopted in 2024 and is named “Rolling Wheat on the Tracks.” Here is its official description: “It is a nod to the past, present, and future of the community. Russian Mennonite settlers brought hard red winter wheat with them to Kansas; the harvesting of this wheat is still vital today and will continue to be so now and into the future. The wheat is arranged in a circle which could portray a locomotive wheel of the past rolling along the black tracks that run through the middle of the flag. The rolling wheat wheel could also be a wagon wheel of the settlers who carried the wheat to our prairie land. The round rolling wheat wheel also represents a town in forward motion.”
