Many now has a flagpole at the Many Depot and a large, brightly lit American flag will be flying there soon.
The best news? It didn’t cost the town a penny. MidSouth Bank donated the flagpole, Crittenden’s Garage is donating the flag, and Hurd Electric is donating the nighttime lighting.
Many’s Alderman at Large Mary Brocato is thrilled about how donors stepped up to make the patriotic display possible. Brocato said, “We’ve worked so hard to restore the historic old depot, and we wanted a flag flying in front of it so badly. It was going to be expensive, but our donors took care of that problem and gave us everything we need. Our city street crew, under the supervision of Mike Moore, worked hard to remove the flagpole at Florien’s MidSouth branch, bring it to Many, and then installed it last week. The heat was terrible, but they never stopped until that flagpole was standing tall.”
