City Flag Contest Winner Picked

Grove now has an official city flag, thanks to the efforts of local citizen Connie Brewer, who came up with the idea of a city flag contest several months ago.
City Council voted the winning flag from five finalists at Tuesday's meeting, shown here.
The winning design was from Carl Fowler, owner of a Kansas City graphics design firm, who heard about the contest. Originally from Carl Junction, Mo. Fowler spent a lot of time on Grand Lake in previous years while growing up.
The city will now solicit bids from several flag makers on a 3x5 foot flag which can be purchased by local businesses and residents. It eventually may be on the front of tee shirts as well.
