National Library Week 2026

Avoca Fire & Rescue offers the community to show their national pride with a subscription to our You're A Grand Old Flag Program. For just $50 a year, they'll place a beautiful American flag in your front yard on six national holidays:
• Memorial Day
• Flag Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Patriot Day
• Veterans Day

How it Works
• A 3’x5’ nylon American flag on a 10’ pole will be placed in your yard.
• Flags are set out at dawn and retrieved at dusk.
• On three-day holiday weekends, flags may remain up all weekend.
• A small, flush-mounted ground receptacle will be installed near your curb — safe for mowing and out of the way year-round.

Learn more or register for the program for the 2026 year at cityofavoca.com/o/coa/page/avoca-old-flag-program
