U.S. flags sold by Friends of the Parks
Larry Curran, board member of Humboldt Friends of the Parks, holds a new American flag and honor banner that will be displayed along Humboldt’s two main thoroughfares, Sumner Avenue and 13th Street, hopefully in time for the general election and Veteran’s Day. The non-profit Friends of the Parks are selling flags with an honorary banner for a cost of $100. Proceeds above costs will go towards the local parks and swimming pool.

A community service project by a local non-profit will beautify the community in a number of ways.
The Friends of the Parks, a local 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization, that raises funds to give back to the city’s parks and swimming pool, is selling U.S. flags to be flown on Sumner Avenue and perhaps 13th Street, during special holidays in the community.
“It’s been 20 years since the U.S. flags downtown have been replaced. They are getting pretty tattered and the flag standards are in rough shape,” said Friends of the Parks Board member Larry Curran.
The flags sell for $100, with a limit of 100 flags to be sold. A flag will be on display at Humboldt City Hall and people can also pick up an application form/brochure there. People can also get a digital brochure online at www.cityofhumboldt.org, or find out information on the city’s Facebook page.
