The event will be held at the field adjacent to the Pickens County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs, 1308 Griffin Mill Road.
In celebration of America’s 250th birthday this year, organizers have a goal of having 250 American flags flying, each flag dedicated in memory of or in honor of a local hero.
