The Avenue of the Flags makes an impressive statement in Sharon Hill Cemetery on Memorial Day.
The brilliant red, white and blue flags wave proudly over the cemetery, usually standing out against a blue sky filled with a few white clouds.
This year, the 100-plus flags will once again fly over the cemetery. Elsa Schmidt’s Mid-Prairie class will help with the project. The Mid-Prairie administration approved the project. Social distancing and face masks will be enforced.
Community members are invited to help raise the flags on Friday, May 22, at 9 a.m. and take them down on Tuesday, May 26, also at 9 a.m.
Financial assistance is needed, too.
Each year about eight to 10 flags are replaced due to damage from weather factors.
To contribute, send a check to: Avenue of Flags, P.O. Box 81, Kalona, IA 52247.
