Default Flags for flying on various holidays?

Where in the Villages do people get all these small stick flags? In some neighborhoods, there must be a few hundred put up with some lawns having 25 or so.

In preparation for next week's Flag Day, I was wondering where people buy all these flags. I have seen them on occasion at Ace Hardware, but where else might I find them?

I did find this store in Lady Lake with its interesting take on why the US flag needs to be folded 13 times.

There is a flag store on 441/27, I believe in Lady Lake. It will be on the east side of the road fairly close to the current road construction. They sell all types of flags, including "stick" flags.

Walmart..prior to any national holiday they have huge bins with stick flags sold in bunches. Usually located in the front of the store.

Wal Mart has flags. I personally ordered 500 flags for our neighborhood at $1.00 each on the internet..

Thanks. I just got 15 of these stick flags for $1.00 a piece at the Walgreen's on Parr Avenue near CR466.

Our yard is not that big so 15 should be more than enough for Flag Day, the 4th of July, Veterans' Day, Presidents' Day, etc. http://blog.cvsflags.com/flag-etique...-flag-holidays

Of course, the stick flags do not let you do half-staff and full staff.
