JASPER COUNTY ‘FLAG DESIGN’ CONTEST UNDERWAY

(NEWTON) Entries are now being accepted for the Jasper County “Flag Design” contest with guidelines available online at the jaspercountyil.com website or by stopping by the Newton Public Library or the Jasper County Chamber of Commerce Office for a printed version. You can be a part of local history and submit your design as soon as possible with the deadline for submissions being Friday, November 15th. After the deadline, the Flag Commission will select up to five designs and then host an online/in-person public survey through January 3rd, 2025 for the public to vote on their favorite design or to keep the current flag as is. The Commission will then report to the Jasper County Board, which will vote to adopt a new flag or retain the current flag. Get those designs submitted ASAP, by November 15th.
