A Banner for All of Midway
Our town’s newest symbol for civic pride, the Midway flag was adopted December 5th, 2022 after a winning a city-wide vote.
A Compass Rose in the center represents Midway’s location, for which it’s named.
Blue: Optimism & Ambition
Gold: Prosperity & Charm
Green: History & Nature
4 Gold Rays evoke the railroad tracks and buildings of Main Street going off into the distance.
“It’s hard to strike a balance between realism and abstraction.
Al Cross, Midwegian
This one does it.“
