CLICK-ON THIS PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT AND YOU WILL SEE
SEVERAL US FLAGS.
THEY ARE ALL OVER TOWN, THANKS TO THE MAQUOKETA OPTMIST CLUB.
THE MEMBERS PUT UP THE FLAGS AT THE START OF EACH
MAJOR HOLIDAY AND TAKE
THEM DOWN AT THE END.
THEY WILL HAVE FIVE TEAMS TAKINGD THEM DOWN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THERE ARE OVER 350 TO PICK UP.
RESIDENTS PAY SO MUCH A YEAR
TO HAVE A FLAG FLYING IN THEIR FRONT YARD EACH
NATIONAL HOLIDAY. IT IS A MONEY-MAKER FOR THE CLUB FOR THEIR MANY
COMMUNITY PROJECTS, BUT MORE IMPORTANT, IT MAKES MAQUOKETA THE
US FLAG CITY OF IOWA. CLICK-ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT.
THANKS OPTIMIST MEMBERS!!

THE MONDAY DAILY REPORT IS BELOW, PLUS SOME OTHER PHOTOS I TOOK TODAY.

THANKS FOR THE VISIT.

    The Optimist club dedicates much time into this community project. This is a very patriotic and beautiful show of support for the community, our country, and the soldiers who are cuurently and in the past have fought for our freedom.
