Flag Raising by Boy Scouts and Civic Leaders
A flag raising ceremony at Elk Boy Scouts and American Legion events drew a large crowd. Scouts in color guard raised the flag as a bugler played and students sang patriotic songs before a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Fire crews later responded to a noon blaze on South Wyoming Street caused by roof sparks, clearing crowds with police and American Legion assistance. The day featured remarks on patriotism from Scout Master Benjamin Owen and Mayor Cocking.
