REPLACING THE OLD FLAG AT THE CORVALLIS EVENTS CENTER

The Corvallis American Legion Post 91 had the senior class of Corvallis High School help us take down the old tattered flag at the school's Event Center and replace it with a new one.  The flags are large and it takes quite a few people to do it.  The kids always have a great time helping us and learn a little flag etiquette while doing it.

This is the old flag and the students are folding it.

It is a big flag even when folded up properly.

"Now how does that go on there!!!"

This young lady did an excellent job of cranking up the flag. 

We left the flag at half staff as First Lady Barbara Bush had just died the day before.
