Newfield Township Flag – Ideas Needed!

Calling All Creative Minds in Newfield Township! 

We’re designing a Township Flag, and we want YOUR ideas to help represent the spirit of Newfield! 

What image, symbol, or scene best captures our community’s heart?

Is it the winding river, a proud oak, the silhouette of our barn roofs at sunset, or something entirely unique to you?

Submit your drawings, sketches, or written ideas-whatever inspires you! 

Whether you’re an artist or simply someone with hometown pride, your voice matters.

Drop off your creations at Newfield Township Hall or email to supervisor@newfieldtownship.org. 

Let’s create something that celebrates who we are together!
