“Flags on Main” Project!
Soon the Stars and Stripes will decorate our town in a display of Pride and Patriotism.
Help line Main Street with patriotic flags. It will be a beautiful sight and remembrance to see Old Glory flying proud.
Please help - Sponsor a Flag in Honor of a Veteran!
Close to 200 American Flags will run the length of Route 190 from Somersville tothe Stafford line, a distance of five miles.
Flags will be in place waving proudly throughout Somers
from just before Memorial Day in May to just after Veteran’s Day in November.
(Flags may be removed earlier, based on weather)
As of July 1st 2023, there were 190 flags flying proudly!
