Residents of the Egan Area are ready to celebrate the Red, White and Blue for America’s 250th anniversary celebration this Sunday, June 14 – Flag Day.
Egan successfully raised funds to purchase flags which are put on display around the town during patriotic holidays and Flag Day is an appropriate day for their 250th celebration.
Sunday begins with a community church service at the Egan Church at 11:00 a.m. Pastor Alan Blankenfeld of the Messiah Lutheran Church will lead the service, and music will be provided by the Singing Legionnaires of Sioux Falls.
Activities then move to the downtown area and will include a variety of food options and a garage sale of donated items set to begin at noon. The sale will be held in the Senior Citizens Center. All proceeds will support the upkeep of the Avenue of Flags in Egan.
A vendor’s fair will take place and for the children, there’s a variety of activities including Liberty’s Troops Train and a patriotic kids’ parade. Participants are encouraged to decorate bikes, wagons, pets, and costumes in red, white, and blue.
A patriotic vehicle show will also be part of the celebration. All types of vehicles—including cars, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, four wheelers, and ATVs—are welcome, as long as they feature red, white, and blue colors.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair as entertainment will be provided.
The City of Egan and the Egan American Legion Family will host the day’s events so come to Egan with your red, white and blue and help celebrate.
