On Sunday, Sept. 11 at 4 p.m., several organizations will join for a Flag Retirement Ceremony and 9/11 Remembrance event at the Tehachapi Rodeo & Event Center. Approximately 1,500 flags have been collected from the Tehachapi community and will receive a proper retirement.

We invite the public to attend this ceremony. There will be brief remarks regarding both the flag retirement ceremony and Patriots Day.
