Toston Blue Ribbon 4-H Club helps American Legion family place and pick up flags at County cemeteries

Saturday morning, May 27th, kicked off the Memorial Day flag placements at Veterans' graves throughout the county. Many people helped provide assistance with hundreds of flags at seven locations; the two largest being Deep Creek and Radersburg Cemeteries.
Alongside our American Legion volunteers were several members of the Toston Blue Ribbon 4-H Club who showed up at the largest cemeteries at 9:00 a.m. and made light work of the Honorable task. Not only were they there on Saturday, some returned on Wednesday morning to help pick the flags up again.
We want to extend our deepest appreciation to the Toston Blue Ribbon 4-H Club and ALL of our gracious volunteers throughout the County, who gave of their time to honor our departed Veterans, some of whom paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
