Description of the flag

The Town of Burlington, Massachusetts, has changed its flag. Here is what I found on town's website - the first move: www.burlington.org/Minutes/Select02_09_09.pdf. The project was accepted and some of the designs can be found here: www.burlington.mec.edu/~BHSArt/?OpenItemURL=S00BEB010.

Flag is quartered per saltire, maroon and white, the white quarters bordered blue, each bearing two stalks of wheat. Centered the town seal, above is written in white "Rich Past", below "Bright Future".

Two curved stalks of wheat lie outside the seal, and the town and state name are written below. Burlington is in Middlesex County.
