On Flag Day, the Plaza will host the display of 25 historic American flags, each flag different in design and forever bound to an important time in U.S. history. Come see how the American Flag you have come to know has evolved over the years. Alongside each flag is a small panel with more information about that flag, allowing guests to better understand its purpose. This display is an amazing learning opportunity and a fantastic way to celebrate our nation's flag!

For an entry fee, divers may sit at a table in the deep end of the center’s pool and play poker with playing cards. The water is a warm 86 degrees, and players will be sitting in the deep end of the center's pool. Players don’t have to be certified divers to participate. Certified diving instructors will be nearby. The idea is to bring residents to the center and raise some money to help veterans.
Proceeds go to Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado.
