Just as dawn was breaking on Memorial Day, a Delphos service club unveiled a patriotic display. The “Avenue of Flags” is a fundraising project that was adopted by Optimist International, which involves putting flags out in front of businesses, homes, and schools on certain holidays thanks to sponsorships. For the past 10 years, the Delphos Club has been getting community support to put out 400 flags around the city and the response has continued to grow.

Delphos residents woke up Monday morning seeing a lot more red white and blue around the city.
