The city of Garden Plain KS announced a city flag and logo contest on March
16, 2024. From the 52 designs submitted, the winner was announced and officially
adopted by the City Council on May 1, 2024. The design by resident Pam Weber was
called “Rolling Wheat on the Tracks” and was described as follows: “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.”
