(Le Mars) — Construction began Wednesday afternoon for what will be flag poles to be erected at the Municipal Park Campgrounds in Le Mars. Crews from Campbell’s Lawn and Landscape of Le Mars were boring holes in the ground and pouring concrete for what will be the base for those flag poles. The idea to have flags flying at the campground entrance was the brain child of campground manager Chad Poeckus (peek-us).
Doug Harms serves as the vice president of the local American Legion Riders Motorcycle Club, and they were given the task to raise the money for the project.
Monica Hanson serves as the manager of the American Legion Hall and tells how the fund raising project took place.
Hanson says there is an effort to expand the project to include additional flag poles sometime in the autumn.
A dedication ceremony showcasing the new flags and flagpoles will take place next Wednesday, August 26th at 5:00 p.m. at the entrance of the Municipal Park Campgrounds.
