Once Upon a Flag – Flash Village Hall
Celebrating Flash: Storytelling, creativity, and collaboration. A community flag inspired by our shared history and future
Once upon a flag invites the people of Flash to help create a unique village flag that celebrates our shared stories, identity, and hopes for the future.
Through storytelling and design workshops at the village hall, residents of all ages will work together – with older generations sharing memories, and younger ones turning them into drawings and ideas.
The community will then vote for the final design, which will be professionally made and proudly raised at a special end-of-summer ceremony.
This inspiring project brings people together through creativity, heritage, and local pride, and leaves a lasting symbol for Flash.
