FLAGS 4 FREEDOM -- 2009
Merriam, Kansas and Shawnee, Kansas
June 27th through July 5th
An All-American Community Celebration ...
Over 3,000 American flags will be on display in Downtown Merriam and along Johnson Dr. and Nieman in Shawnee.
Yellow Dedication Ribbons
Consider dedicating a yellow ribbon to honor a special person. With your $15 donation, we will
personalize a label with the name you specify. The printed label will be placed on a yellow ribbon and attached to one of the flags in the dedication field at the Merriam Marketplace. The placement of the ribbon (with its flag display row indicated) will be noted in a notebook at the information booth. You can locate and view your ribbon any time during the Flags 4 Freedom event; and you can retrieve your ribbon at the conclusion of the patriotic program and concert on Saturday, July 4th.
Ribbon dedications are now being accepted at the Irene B. French Community Center; they will also be accepted at the flag field during the event. All proceeds from Merriam's portion of the event will benefit the Merriam Parks, Recreation, and Community Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
