Commissioners decline 250th‑anniversary bunting; approve ACCO‑SIF participation

Jun 15, 2026

Commissioners voted not to hang patriotic bunting for the U.S. 250th anniversary because of durability and cost concerns, opting to reserve display for the Courthouse Centennial; they also approved joining the ACCO Self‑Insured Fund for FY 2026–27.

The full story

Kay County commissioners declined a suggestion to hang patriotic bunting on the courthouse for the United States’ 250th anniversary due to concerns that the bunting would not withstand weather conditions and because of installation/removal costs. Clerk Tammy Reese said the Centennial Committee wanted a display replicating the courthouse’s dedication 100 years ago; the board decided the bunting will be displayed for the Centennial Celebration instead.
