HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Veterans' Memorial is looking for help to replace a flagpole.

"We had a flagpole break in the windstorm back in May, it was the American flagpole and POW flagpole," said Kelly Danyluk with the Memorial's board. "I apologize for not having that back up yet. We are working with the vendor and trying to work through some, if there's some warranty that might help cover the cost of replacing that."

There is a significant cost to replace the pole.

"The pole is between $7,000 and $8,000," Danyluk said. "They're not cheap, it's 40 feet."

They already have a donor that will help if there is a shortfall, but if you would like to help too, you can contact Danyluk at RCB Bank. The number there is (620) 860-7734.
