HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Stacy Goss with Hospice and Homecare of Reno County was pleased with the support for the Flag Day car parade that went to care facilities in the area.
"I think we had about 15 cars total," Goss said. "That's including law enforcement from Reno County Sheriff, Hutch PD and I believe SWAT was there."
They were able to divide and get to more of the local facilities that way.
"We had one that stayed local in Hutch," Goss said. "Also, one went to South Hutch to Mennonite Friendship Communities and then up to Wesley Towers."
This is a tradition that started during the pandemic.
"The weather was nice," Goss said. "We had a lot of wind in the flags. We had a great turnout at every location. This started in October during the height of COVID, then we shifted it to be a Flag Day event. This is technically our third parade. This is our second Flag Day event."
The groups did their drives late Tuesday morning in Hutchinson.
