The deadline to sign up for the Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site’s Fly the Flag Project is quickly approaching.  Applications for new and renewed subscriptions along with payment are due by March 31st in order to participate.

The project provides homeowners and businesses, within the city limits of Fort Scott, the opportunity to fly the Stars and Stripes, hassle free, on five different flag holidays.  For $40 annually, the Friends will post a 3’x5′ flag on a 12 foot staff at your home or business on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Veteran’s Day.

Application forms can be obtained at the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce or can be requested by phone or text by dialing  417-684-2484.  Renewals notices have been mailed/emailed to all 2024 subscribers.

 

All proceeds support programs at Fort Scott National Historic Site. These include:  Symbols of Sacrifice, a  Citizenship Ceremony, Candlelight Tour, Veterans Challenge coins, and many others. Show your patriotism and help our local National Park by lining the streets  of Fort Scott with our nation’s symbol!

 

The Fly the Flag Project is a yearly project sponsored by the Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site.  Once signed up, you will receive the option to renew annually.
