Up the shore, the public is invited to attend the first flag raising of a 30-foot flag pole in Knife River. The ceremony will take place at noon at the Knife River Heritage and Cultural Center on American Dock Road. The Two Harbors American Legion Post 109 will conduct the ceremony. An event flyer asks those attending physically distance.
