Round Pond
For many years B.J. and Roy Hudson hung the flags up and down the village in time for Memorial Day. After Roy passed, B.J. took on Michael Taillon as his flag helper.

Unfortunately every year so many of them get torn down by large trucks hauling boats, cars, etc., which cannot be helped. The Round Pond Village Improvement Society funds the flags.
