Spring Canyon Community Park will be transformed into a sea of red, white and blue on Memorial Day Weekend, May 24- 27, as 500 American flags fly in formation honoring our country’s heroes: veterans, service members, first responders, community leaders and personal heroes. Walk amongst the flags. Read the medallions honoring our heroes. Also experience a Civil War Living History camp. Knowledgeable Civil War historians will demonstrate tools, tactics and the day-to-day life of Civil War soldiers. Event is sponsored by Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary. To purchase a medallion that will hang on a flag honoring your hero, go to www.rotaryfcbreakfast.org
Besides the field of 500 American flags, there will be a Civil War Living History Camp near the field of flags. In addition, we’re working with Poudre School District on an essay contest whereby 3rd and 4th graders describe their hero.
