Old Glory returns to government center

Posted
Old Glory has returned to the Laclede County Government Center. The county’s flag, traditionally displayed for the 4th of July, was damaged by vandals last summer, but the Laclede County Commission began a fund drive and raised enough money to buy a new flag and a backup flag. Western Commissioner Darrell Pollock said that while conducting a trial run of installing the flag, they decided to leave it in place during June and through the 4th of July holiday. “We felt like it’s a great time to go ahead and put that flag out,” Pollock said.
