Flag Design Concert

Calling all artists: The Village has announced a Flag Design Contest in honor of America's 250th Anniversary and Scarsdale's 325th! Here are the details:

America 250/Scarsdale 325 Flag Design Contest

In celebration of 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the 325th anniversary of Scarsdale, the Village will be hosting a Flag Design Contest to mark the occasion. Residents of all ages are invited to create a unique design that celebrates these milestones and showcases our vibrant community. Flags should be representative of both our Village and our country, tying together local and national history.
