Forest Festival Flag making, Mason County

Mason County (Flags of our Fathers Flyer–2026)

America250 Mason County introduces a flag making opportunity: “Out of Many – One.”  That phrase appears in the Great Seal of the United States and on every US coin as E Pluribus Unum;  out of many – one.  Out of many colonies, we grew to become one country.  Out of many immigrants we blended together in a melting pot of cultures and traditions.  Out of many individual stories, we united for one common goal of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”.  Out of the many colonial flags, we grew under one banner.  In honoring the history of the people represented by each of those many colonial flags, we are pleased to partner with Sierra Pacific Industries to launch “Flags of Our Founding Fathers”.

This partnership honors the county’s legacy and rich history in timber and Sierra Pacific’s dedication to our forests, in regeneration and replanting, managing and harvesting, while providing for our homes with lumber and millwork.   By repurposing donated lumber, this project will provide wood kits to interested groups with the goals of creating colonial flags that will be displayed in the Forest Festival Parade and judged at the post parade event at Loop Field in Shelton on May 30, 2026.  Feel free to share the flyer with any interested groups or contact Will at his email  – WHarris.Allyn@gmail.com.
Kits will be available in March. Completed projects are to be returned May 27/28. The completed projects will be available for pickup as early as Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 4:00 pm at our booth on Loop Field.
