Flag

I received an image of the flag from the town clerk. I then asked the Florence Pioneer Museum for information on the flag, and received an image of an article dated 29 June 1972, when the contest winners were announced:

The flag of Florence was adopted after a flag contest sponsored by Florence Elks Lodge No. 611 as part of the Florence Centennial Celebration. The winner, who received $100 for the design, was Jack Bennett of Penrose. The colors, red, blue, gold, and white, are used in (probably not anymore) the Florence High School flag, as well as that of Colorado and the United States. The letter "F" is the monogram of Florence and embodies the design of the state flag within it.
