The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club invites viewers to be a 2020 Main Street flag sponsor, according to Duane Bollenbacher of the club.
The purchase of flags, a $25 per flag, is open to businesses, organizations, or to individuals.
Bollenbacher said that sponsors may name someone that you wish to honor or memorialize with each flag sponorship.
All proceeds from the sponsorship of flags help the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club in its quest to make Bluffton a better community for its children, its elderly, its needy families, and all the citizens of Bluffton.

Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Bluffton community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art created by John Peter Klassen, a long-time Bluffton College art professor.
For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
