A Southeast Kansas community came together to keep a tradition alive. Today marked the return of the annual Altamont Flag Day. It almost didn’t happen this year. A committee is usually in charge of putting the whole event together, but they were all unable to due to other commitments. Altamont city clerk Heather Beasley took it upon herself to rally volunteers together, and in just three weeks Flag Day was ready to go. “Luckily there was a whole notebook of stuff that they were able to give us, so we kind of had a starting point to go to, and just using all of my network people, we were able to reach out and throw something together, so it was really exciting to watch it all fall into place,” says Heather Beasley, Altamont City Clerk.
