Max and Candice Grundy have lived in Iola for two years.  

And already, they take great pride in what they call “our town.” 

California transplants, the Grundys are known for their recent purchase of Iola’s abandoned water tower, which they envision turning into an Airbnb. 

Last week, Max, a commercial artist, attended an Iola council meeting where he suggested Iola adopt a flag, giving a dozen examples. 

Even though he regarded his presentation a “flop,” he thinks the idea of a flag promoting Iola is worthwhile.
