The Parade of Flags is Wellington Kiwanis Club’s annual community service project. Each flag holiday, close to 300 flags proudly flying throughout Wellington show that the Spirit of ’76 is alive and well in our village.
Subscriptions to have a flag placed in your front yard for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day and Veteran’s Day are $30. All proceeds go towards our ongoing signature project – raising funds for community playground equipment.
Help create a community of red, white, and blue and join the parade of flags in your neighborhood.
Wellington Kiwanis will provide, install, remove and properly store the flag for the following holidays:
Memorial Day, Flag Day (6/14), Independence Day (7/4), Patriot Day (9/11), and Veterans Day (11/11)
$30.00 per calendar year – Your entire subscription donation supports Wellington playgrounds, as Kiwanis absorbs the cost of materials in its regular budget.
Where will the flag be placed in my yard? We will do our best to find the most visible place, 6 ft into your yard from either the sidewalk or from the tree lawn.
When will the flag be placed and removed? We will place and remove the flag approximately 1 to 3 days prior and after the holiday.
Already part of the way into the year, no problem. We can prorate your cost, $6 per holiday for the remainder of the year. Please give us 2 weeks prior to a holiday to process your paperwork.
The flagpole does not have a light. You may place a solar light at night if you wish or bring the flag in during the night while returning it the next morning.
For a business that does not have space to place a flag or a non-village resident, a flag will be placed for you in an array of flags in a highly visible location along West Herrick Ave.
Patriotism is on full display in the Village of Wellington as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this week. The Wellington Kiwanis’ Parade of Flags, now in its sixth year, has grown 10 percent in the past year to 305 U.S flags, not including the beautiful patriotic displays at Village Market, Apples and Herrick Memorial Library. Archibald Willard would be proud to see the Spirit of '76 is alive and well in his hometown. Featured sponsors for Independence Day include Mayor Hans Schneider and his wife Wendy at Union School Park: Council President Gene Hartman and Beth Hannon at the Town Hall on the square and Harrison Ford on North Main St. Additional displays are the Wellington Masons at Pioneer Cemetery on W. Herrick Ave. ; the VFW at Duke Pride Hill at Barb O’Keefe Way at the North Main St. grade separation; and American Legion Post 8 at the Vietnam Memorial. Proceeds from the Parade of Flags support Kiwanis’ playground fund, which has surpassed $100,000. The fundraising thermometer at Union School Park has grown to nearly $1 million. Thank you, Wellington. ... See MoreSee Less
