Content Description

50-star, hand-crocheted American flag, ca. 1976. Matted and framed, currently on exhibit in the lobby of the BCC's office. The label reads: 50th State Commemorative. This 50 star American flag commemorates the addition of Hawaii to the Union of the United States. The flag is hand crocheted, a unique work of art. It has been donated by the Arvada group of Warm Hearts Warm Babies, a non-profit organization that makes baby layettes for the needy in Colorado.
