Description of the flag

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."
