Description of the flag

A red flag, with a light blue stripe across near the bottom, an large letter A in yellow extending from top to bottom near the hoist, and the seal in the upper fly.

A photo of the flag was provided by Valentin Poposki, 4 July 2012.

This 2019 article from the Panther Eye student newspaper of Sweet Home High School mostly complains about how bad the town's flag is but does have a nice vector image: https://panthereye.news/blog/2019/10/03/amherst-flag/

The only other information the article gives is that (former) Town Executive Daniel Ward thought that a flag was needed (year not stated). A contest was held and had many entries (number is not stated). The winner became the current flag.
