The third annual Wellington Kiwanis Parade of Flags is underway as we honor those who gave their lives serving our country this Memorial Day weekend. We placed about 190 flags in residents' yards and in front of the Town Hall, around the Vietnam Memorial and Union School Park. Thanks to John and Amy Kiley of Kiley Tree Service for sponsoring the 20 flags in front of the Town Hall and Steve Neff of the Wellington Music Store for sponsoring the flags at Union School Park. The American Legion Post 8 is sponsoring the flags at the Vietnam Memorial for each of the five patriotic holidays in 2023. New this year is placing individual sponsored flags on Duke Pride Hill on the north side of the Wellington underpass on N. Main St., also known as O'Keefe Way for former mayor Barb O'Keefe. We are still taking subscriptions to have flags placed in front yards for the next four holidays, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans' Day. The cost will be prorated at $24, but we will gladly accept the full donation of $30 for the year. All proceeds go to our Playground Fund. #kids Need Kiwanis! ... See MoreSee Less
