The United States and Wyoming state flags outside the Information Center has been joined by a third flag-one for Jackson Hole.
Designed by Karen Davidson and Sally Rains and sewn by Cile Lamb, the flag was officially raised last Friday afternoon. Ralph McMullen, director of the Chamber of Commerce, presided over the ceremonies, and later led a tour of the Information Center.
Although the winning design, for which they received $50, in a contest held to years ago. Mrs. Davidson, and Mrs. Rains did not see the fruit of their labor until last week. One losing design in the Jackson Hole flag contest, incidentally, showed an outstretched hand excepting a $20 bill. The accompanying motto read "In Greed We Trust." The judges apparently preferred the more conventional design featuring the mountains, a skier, a cowboy, an elk and a fisherman.
