In an election year, conversations and interactions between people with different points of view can get divisive. On Labor Day morning, an effort was made to bring the community together. Residents of Craig, American Legion Post 62 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4265 gathered in Alice Pleasant Park in the 500 block of Yampa Avenue to raise a flag on the new flag pole in the park. The flag now will fly at all downtown city events. City Councilman Ray Beck got the idea for the flag pole at this year’s Grand Olde West Days, when he noticed the VFW using cement buckets to help raise a flag at the event. “I was standing here taking in the events that day and we noticed the veterans brought a portable flag pole,” Beck said. “They set it up in the street to do their presentation and I thought, ‘you know, we can do better than that.’”
