New Flagpole Raised At Municipal Park
City workers installed a homemade 32 foot steel flagpole in Municipal Park replacing a dilapidated unit once donated by Boy Scout Troop 243. City Manager Wil Cockrell said the aluminum finish will improve durability and a concrete walkway connects the pedestal to the curb. The U S flag remained missing atop City Park’s tall pole near the Fire Station despite new flags being purchased.
