How do we build Flags?

Hey there! Have you been asking yourself, “How do we build these Flags” or “I wonder what is Flag Build Day all about?”; Well, you are not alone!

A third volunteer would be beneficial to move & wrangle the long poles. Bolt Cutting – 1 Volunteer needed. We have a metal cutting bandsaw to cut the eye bolts used to attach the flag to the pole and cut the 3″ rebar that we…
