The Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site honored the volunteers who helped plant the flags for their “Fly the Flag” Program during the years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 with a Picnic In the Park Tuesday night.
Those attending received a certificate and a flag pin during the short program held after the dinner.
The Friends of Fort Scott annually take subscriptions to fly a full size flag during the five “flag holidays” – Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veterans Day. Volunteers set these flags in front of residential and businesses in the city limits of Fort Scott for these five holidays.
Pictured are those who attended the picnic and received a certificate and flag pin:
