In 1976, the Village of Bartlett held a contest for students to design the village's first flag that would fly over Bartlett during 1976, the nation's Bicentennial year. More than 30 students entered the contest. Judging was done by Judy Szajek, chairperson of the Bartlett Bicentennial Commission and Corrine Loeh, art director for School District U-46. This illustration, created by then 12-year-old Mike Rust of Eastview Jr. High School, was awarded second place. The students' flag designs were saved by then Village President William Tiknis, who gifted the entries to the museum in 2011. |
