The Massive Flag Coming To Twin Falls

The flag will be here on Friday, September 9th at Canyon Ridge High School. You will be able to see just how large that flag is before it gets hung in the canyon on Saturday, September 10th at 6:30 pm. The flag is part of the "Follow The Flag" organization that hangs a flag spanning over 11 thousand square feet in canyons and around the area. It is going to hang in the canyon until September 17th. That date may move up a day, so if you want to see it, don't wait until the last minute. They need help folding and packing the flag on Saturday at 7 am at Canyon Ridge Gym

Fly Over The Perrine Bridge

There will be a flyover from pilots at Gowan Field. A Buhl man is going to bring his personal plane to fly with smoke on the back of it. There will be a hot air balloon which is completely new this year. They have some new tricks up their sleeves as well.

Walk Along The Perrine Bridge

When you go to the event, you get a flag to wave along the Perrine Bridge. When everyone walks along the bridge, waving their flags, it is one of the most beautiful sights you can see. You will get goosebumps throughout the entire event from the speakers, the bagpipes, performers, flags, and memories.

DO NOT bring drones at all. Please leave drones at home. If there are drones in the air, the flyover will not happen. Drones have also damaged the flag. Please, leave drones at home.

If you go to the event and take pictures, make sure you tag MV911 in your social media posts. For all information about the event and how you can get involved by checking out their website.
