COMMUNITY EVENTS: Optimist Club selling flags

— For an annual contribution of $30, the Pea Ridge Optimist Club will place a 3- by 5-foot American flag with a 10-foot metal pole curbside on the seven holidays days designated.

A metal sleeve will be installed 15 inches from the curb/edge of the road or from a mailbox, in which to place the flagpole.

Contributions will support community service projects for youth in the community, suchas a college scholarship, essay contests, oratorical contests and various Optimist projects and programs.

Registration forms for Pea Ridge pageants will be accepted through June 11.

More contestants are needed for the 7- to 9-year-old and 10- to 12-year-old categories.
