In anticipation of the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations, the High Springs Mayor's Youth Council has taken the initiative to adorn the city with a patriotic display of flags. Spearheaded by Mayor Weitz and Commissioner Bloodsworth, along with the enthusiastic participation of Boy Scout Troop 69, the youth council embarked on a collaborative effort to line the streets with American flags.

The project was made possible through the generous donation of flags by ACE Hardware, a gesture that was crucial in bringing this community initiative to life. Elva Bryant played a pivotal role in coordinating the logistics, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned and executed.

"This is more than just a display of flags; it's a symbol of our community coming together to celebrate our nation's independence," remarked Mayor Weitz, emphasizing the significance of civic engagement among the youth.

The flag display not only adds a festive touch to the city streets but also serves as a reminder of the values and freedoms cherished by the residents of High Springs. As the Fourth of July approaches, residents can look forward to a vibrant display of patriotism, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Mayor's Youth Council, local officials, community volunteers, and supportive businesses.
