To help bring awareness to proper flag disposal, we are having a flag collection for your worn, battered, dirty, or damaged American flags.  Kids 12 and under who bring a flag for the collection will be entered in a drawing after the race to win one of two gift certificates to the Pop Shop in Medford.
