FLY THE U.S. FLAG TAKING NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site Inc. is taking new subscriptions for their “Fly the U.S. Flag” project. The Friend’s U.S. Flag Project provides homeowners and businesses, within the city limits of Fort Scott, the opportunity to fly the Stars and Stripes on five different flag holidays without the hassle of purchasing, erecting, and storing a flag and pole. You don’t even have to remember the holiday!

Memorial Day

Flag Day

Fourth of July

Labor Day

Veteran’s Day

Sign up by October 1, 2019 and you will also get Veteran’s Day 2019 included in the offer–SIX DAYS for the price of FIVE!!!

Agreements can be obtained at the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce or can be emailed to you. Additionally, Friends members will be at the Fort Scott Farmer’s Market on September 21 and 28 to take new applications and renewals. Contact Kelley Collins at 417-684-2484 or Martha Scott at 620-224-9924 for further information.

Show your patriotism and help our local National Park by lining the streets of Fort Scott with our nation’s symbol!
