Would you like to see a proper flag retirement? Centerline of Calhoun County welcomes everyone to join in observing a formal flag retirement ceremony on Flag Day, Thursday June 14th.

I would like to thank our collection sites. They went above and beyond. If you think about it they averaged 57 people per site coming through their door asking "where do I put my flag so it can be retired"? Thanks again
If you missed this year's retirment ceremony, don't fret. We will be collecting flags next year and holding another ceremony. So watch your e-mails & papers this time next year.
