Regarding its Sesquicentennial, the County held a flag contest. You may see the
entries here:
http://www.sarpy.com/150/SarpyFlags/Album1.htm. However, there is no word
about the contest, if it finished and if the County chose one of designs for its
flag.

The County's Sesquicentennial webpage said a winner would be announced Feb
8th. A cached page from the Omaha World-Herald Feb. 5 edition says, referring to
the ceremonies scheduled for Wed. the 8th: "The county's first official flag,
designed by Platteview High School student John Sliffe, will be unveiled and
raised above the courthouse at 10 a.m...." The new Sarpy County flag is..... a
seal on a white flag.
