America’s 250th Flag Craze | Reno News

As America gears up for its 250th birthday, patriotic fervor is at an all-time high—with a giant 20x30-foot flag being stitched by seamstress Inez and her crew, who’ve doubled their output to meet soaring demand. Every flag now features the special 250th anniversary emblem, and even the classic 3x5-foot Betsy Ross-style version is flying off shelves. The Flag Store, newly licensed by the “250 Commission,” sources everything domestically—from fabric to thread to metal rings—and offers everything from bunting and banners to lawn signs and ornaments, all decked in red, white, and blue. Customers like David are back for repeat visits, battling wind-blown flags and neighborly teasing. And those tiny handheld flags? Gone in minutes—proof that Americans are ready to show their colors big and bold.
