COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Local Boy Scout Daniel Zimmerman decided to tackle a patriotic task for his Eagle Scout project: installing a new larger flagpole with brickwork and a cement pad at the Branch County Fairgrounds.
Daniel is a member for Boy Scout Troop 433 in Coldwater. Once he received local and district committee for the project in February, he got to work not only on fundraising, but doing the physical work as well, adjacent to the Fair Office.

The financial goal for the project is $2,300. If you would like an engraved brick, the deadline is April 27, 2024. Here’s a link to the Facebook group for the project.
If it is under the City of Coldwater’s jurisdiction it can only be 20′ tall. No exception aa=has ever been made here in “Flag City”. It is like our “Tree City ” designation even though the city has cut several hundreds of trees over last few years.
