The flag for the city of Three Rivers, Michigan is seen on Wikipedia, but
there's backing behind it in a photograph.
Here is what the displayed
text on the chair reads:
"An all city contest was held in 1967 for the design
of a city flag. Denise (Kent) Barrett, sophomore, Senior High, Three Rivers, won
the contest. Denise was a student in Larry Miller’s art class. The prize was a
$25.00 savings bond. In the Commercial of May 18, 1967, was a picture of Denise
Kent with an article about the flag and its adoption by the City Commission on
May 15, 1967, as the official City Flag.The first cloth flag was made by Mrs.
Ralph Vandenberg, wife of the mayor of Three Rivers. Denise was given the
original flag when a new one was purchased.It was shown and flown for the first
time at the Michigan Week Parade in Sturgis on May 20, 1967. A replica of the
flag was designed for one of the floats at the Water Carnival Parade, May 22,
1967."
