The Rotary Club of Waynesburg is organizing the first “Greene County Flags for Heroes” celebration.

One-hundred and twenty five American flags will be on display at the Greene County Fairgrounds the week of July 4. The 10-foot tall, 3-by-5 foot flags will be flown in memory or in honor of heroes of the sponsor’s choice.

The Rotary Club is offering the opportunity for members of the community to recognize their personal heroes by dedicating a flag in their name through a one-time sponsorship of $50 per flag. The heroes can be anyone – first responders, military, veterans, mentors, teachers, family or any positive influence in your life. Corporate sponsorships are also available at $100, $250 and $500 levels.

Proceeds from the project will benefit local heroes, organizations and individuals who are working to make our communities a better place to live and to improve the lives of those who call Greene County home.

Names of all who are honored will be published and will be read aloud at a ceremony during the Waynesburg Lions Club July 4th Celebration in front of the grandstands at 6:30 p.m. Lions Club day-long festivities kick off with a pancake breakfast in the 4-H Building from 7 to 11 a.m. The 11th Annual Car, Truck and Bike Show will run from 11 to 3 p.m. Rocky Ridge Acres will be on hand from 11 to 1, offering free wagon rides around the fairgrounds. A concession stand will be open throughout the day under the grandstands. The Little Miss Firecracker Pageant will begin at 6 in front of the grandstand, and the Brothers Short Band will perform from 7 to 9. The grand finale of the event will be a fireworks display beginning at approximately 9:30.
