Shame on Yarmouth Maine
I am currently visiting my kids and grand kids in Maine. They took me to the Yarmouth Clam Festival. Now over the years I have attended many community festivals and I can say that I have never been to a festival where they failed to display even one American flag! There was none on the grand stand where they had clam shucking contests, none at the finish line of their race, none at the children's area, none by the food vendors, none by the art booths, none even at the police station right there by the big tents! Shame on them! I never even saw a Maine flag!
I complained at the tent where they sold festival t shirts and posters and was told that the Boy Scouts had one at opening ceremonies the day before! So they showed it for 5 minutes rolled it up and put it away and you are proud of that?
They touted a crowd of over 100,000 in attendance with mostly young families. Is this what they are teaching the young residents and visitors?
What a contrast to The Villages where flags fly in business areas, rec centers and residential neighborhoods. Shame on Yarmouth Maine!
