Flags Over Manteca
Flags Over Manteca is the Manteca Chamber of
Commerce signature event. It
was born out of the attack on the World
Trade
Center
September 11, 2001. In
2002 the Chamber along with the City of
Manteca
raised $60,000.00 to have 2400 holes drilled and flags monogrammed
and hardware made so flags can be placed out on holidays.
Flags are sponsored by individuals and monogramming is placed
on the edge of the flag.
The Flags are placed out by volunteers on the
following dates:
