One of Fort Stockton's most recognizable landmarks will take center stage this Sunday as the community gathers to celebrate Flag Day at Hilltop RV Park, home of the largest flag on Interstate 10.

The public is invited to attend a special ceremony at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 14, where the current flag will be retired and a new flag will be raised in honor of Flag Day and America's upcoming 250th Anniversary.

For travelers crossing West Texas, the towering flag has become a familiar sight for miles along I-10. For many Fort Stockton residents, it's a symbol of community pride and one of the first things visitors see when arriving in town.

As we begin celebrating America's 250th birthday, local businesses and community members are encouraged to join in the patriotic spirit by decorating storefronts, homes, offices, and public spaces. Several businesses around town have already started displaying their patriotism, including First National Bank, which is currently flying both the historic Bennington Flag and Betsy Ross Flag at its Walmart ATM location.

Let's make Fort Stockton a community that proudly showcases its American heritage as we count down to the nation's semiquincentennial celebration.

📍 Hilltop RV Park 4076 IH-10 West

📅 Sunday, June 14 ⏰ 8:00 a.m.

Hosted by the Pecos County Historical Commission and American Legion Post 234.

Honoring our flag. Honoring America. 🇺🇸
