WHEATLAND – Two flags found a new home and an empty flagpole finally stepped into the role that it was intended for, June 15 in front of the boutique and embroidery shop, Touch of Color owned by Kim Zimmerman.
Zimmerman who had purchased the former liquor store and moved her business into the building in 2019 not only purchased the property, but inherited with that building, a 30-foot flagpole that stood without a flag or halyard.
The shop reflects the order and quaint eclectic nature of Zimmerman’s personality. Every item in the shop is neatly and carefully placed. It has a very finished look to it, and Zimmerman is all about completion. She is also all about patriotism and so, a flagpole in front of her store without a flag just wouldn’t do.
