The Royal Gorge Quilt Council also unveiled a sesquicentennial quilt which features quilt blocks designed and prepared by quilt council members noting historical attractions around the county.   The sesquicentennial quilt will soon be displayed in the Administration Building.   Also to be flown on a flagpole in front of the Administration Building will be a special sesquicentennial flag which proudly features the sesquicentennial logo designed by the Heritage Commission.
