WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11: Veterans Day
You may have noticed the beautiful flags lining the highway during the Burdett 150 Celebration – and we would love to keep that patriotic tradition going!
We are looking for families, friends, groups, organization or anyone willing to lend a hand with putting the flags up and taking them down throughout the year. By having several volunteer, we can spread out the work and make sure the job doesn’t always fall on just one person.
Flag Days Include: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day
Grab your family, round-up some friends, get your organization involved, and claim a holiday! The more helping hands we have, the easier – more fund – it will be to keep Burdett looking patriotic.
Interested in helping? Contact Linda at 620 923-5416 to get involved. Many hands make light work – and a whole lot of red, white and blue!
