According to
this article by the Fairbanks Daily Miner, Fairbanks adopted an unofficial
flag in 1977. Part of what is called a Golden Days contest, Joyce Burnette won
among 75 entries, though no one notified the city about this contest and the
city council did not approve of this flag. It made its first appearance on 23
July 1977 in the Golden Days parade, and uses gold and blue with what seems to
be a white line cutting it in half. Of course, gold and blue are taken in
inspiration from the flag of Alaska (and more personally, because the designer's
husband used those colors when racing in Georgia). The Midnight Sun is displayed
in the upper half, with the Northern Lights in the lower one.
