CLEARLAKE, Calif. – It’s time to lower the city of Clearlake’s big American flag for the year.
Officials will be lowering the flag for the winter on Monday, Nov. 16, at 11 a.m. at Austin Park, 14077 Lakeshore Drive.
The flag, the largest in Lake County, is annually raised in May and typically flies for six months.
Monday’s flag-lowering event will include performances by members of the Lower Lake High School Show Choir, invocation by Navy veteran and Assistant Pastor Tim Miller of First Baptist Church, and the playing of “Retreat” by the Lake County Military Honors Team.
The flag will be lowered and folded according to the US flag code. The flag will be raised again in May 2021.
The Park Study Club sponsors the flag annually for the city. Masks are required and organizers ask that healthy distancing rules be followed.
