Citizens celebrate Old Glory on Flag Day

On Saturday, June 14, in Polson, more than 60 citizens, many of them veterans, waved flags and signs to celebrate the importance of the day. The city fire department participated by flying a huge Old Glory flag.

A Chamber of Commerce effort to raise funds with an appeal for the July 3 fireworks display was spearheaded by members of Raven Hall Motorcycle Riding Club and citizen volunteers and resulted in $6,000 for the effort. The generosity of passers-by was much appreciated.

The happy, peaceful folks were greeted by many vehicle operators who supported the effort with waves and honking, especially from truckers. Lake County Republican Women organized the celebration event.

We regret the Lake County Leader missed the gathering to report the celebration held earlier.
