All donations for a fundraiser will go toward the replacement of American Flags, located along Marietta Avenue and North Street in downtown Ixonia. The current flags have become faded and tattered over time.

The fundraiser is presented by the Edwin L. Jones American Legion Post 91 in Oconomowoc. Jerry Wendt is a past commander and told WTKM that it's time for the replacement.

"In Ixonia, they put up American Flags on all of the patriotic holidays. We are looking to buy new flags, made in the United States. And it will be on a strong, sturdy mount so the flags will never touch the ground and poles with a tube that runs with it, so the flags fly properly. We don't want the flags to get wrapped up."                                       

The goal is to raise $5,000.

The Legion Post 91 of Oconomowoc would like to have the American Flags installed by Memorial Day, which is Monday, May 25.

Donations can be made on their website, post91oconomowoc.org with the QR code that has been set up. A collection jug is located at the Ixonia State Bank, in Ixonia.
