The Bland J. Rossman Veterans of Foreign Wars of Lock Haven recently donated a new flag pole near the J. Doyle Corman Amphitheatre. The pole, which is 50 feet tall, cost $9,000 with concrete donated by Harger Utility Charities and equipment donated by Harger Utility Contractors and Action Equipment. Labor was provided by members of the VFW. A flag raising ceremony and dedication is set for 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 4, in honor of America’s 250th birthday. According to VFW representatives, a 10-foot by 15-foot flag will be used with its location expected to line up with the “I <3 Clinton County" sign located across the West Branch of the Susquehanna River at the Woodward Township Boat Launch. The VFW noted a small plaque will be placed at the pole to honor Clinton County veterans. Pictured with the pole are members of the VFW.
