Description of the flag

In March 2019, Valentin Poposki posted to the FOTW-FB group the flag image from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claypool,_Indiana. I found this article about the flag being approved in August 2018 http://www.inkfreenews.com/2018/04/18/claypool-town-board-approves-students-city-flag-idea-kreft-appointed-as-reserve-officer/

Claypool Town Board Approves Students’ City Flag Idea
In its first order of business, the board heard a presentation from Claypool Elementary fourth-graders about a proposal for a city flag. Eight students spoke at the event, explaining that eight original flag designs were submitted. Everyone at the elementary school voted for their favorite option.

The flag is orange to represent basketball, and stripes on the design symbolize the railroads that run through the city.

The board approved the idea and stated that it would get an official city flag made for the school.
