In the summer of 2019 Eldora had a flag contest for which designs were
submitted by art students of South Hardin High School. A vote was held in July
2019 to choose from among the top 4 designs. Of the 289 votes,153 were given to
the flag with the water tower, designed by student Sully Goodell. At the time,
some city council members thought that too few votes were cast and that other
residents should also submit designs. I didn’t hear anything about the flag
after that. However, the contest-winning design was the basis of the flag
adopted in May 2021; the only changes were the length and the text and images on
the water tower (which match those on the actual tower).
The flag was
announced on the city’s Facebook page:

An article
was posted in the local newspaper, but I haven’t been able to gain access. The
article probably has information that can be added to the story.
