A successful 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 was presented by the Edwin L. Jones American Legion Post 91 in Oconomowoc and they have reached their goal. 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."                                                

They have reached their goal of $5,000.

The Legion Post 91 of Oconomowoc is planning on having the American Flags installed by Memorial Day, which is Monday, May 25.
