"The black and gold colors symbolize the famous Black Gold festival in the
city (which is where the flag will be unveiled in a month), the white snow
symbolizes nobility, I chose to base off of the mountainous flag of
Pocatello, Idaho, due to Hazard being the Queen City
of the Mountains."

"Hazard Middle School 7th grader, Gabe Vires, brought his proposal for a
new city flag to the City Commissioners meeting last night. Gabe thought long
and hard about the symbolism of the flag and made each element have great
significance to our city. The Black and Gold symbolize the Black Gold Festival
and the heritage of coal mining. The white symbolizes the nobility of the Queen
City of the Mountains. The mountains are getting larger to symbolize our
growth."

According to this article, this gold and black flag will not replace the
present flag but will only be the official flag of the Black Gold Festival.
