Flag Day ceremonies are Sunday

Ceremonies to celebrate Flag Day will be Sunday evening at 7 o’clock on the shore of Elks Lake east of the Gates Corporation plant.
Entrance to the lake area is along Montana Road.
Mike Jewell of the Iola Elks will talk about the significance of the day set aside to commemorate the U.S. flag — officially Tuesday — and representatives of the Iola American Legion will note veterans’ contributions.
Iola Boys Scouts will conclude ceremonies with a flag retirement ceremony.
The public is encouraged to attend.
“Anyone who has a torn or tattered flag should bring it so it can be properly retired,” Jewell said. “Just throwing a flag away is not the correct procedure.”
