The project was made possible through a $500 grant the 4-H Club received as part of its participation in the 2006 Youth Summit held at Rock Eagle. Twelve Knockout roses, five Lantanas and two Crepe Myrtles were planted around the flagpole and mulched with pine straw by the group. (Photo contributed)
