    A trio of flags is now being framed to hang in the Board of Commissioners conference room in the Fannin County Courthouse.

    One flag was officially presented to commissioners in a ceremony last Tuesday, and the other two had already been delivered.

    Members of American Legion Post 248 in Blue Ridge presented a flag from the original Post location in McCaysville.

    Post Commander James Callender said the Post was originally chartered in McCaysville in 1980. Legion members received permission last year to move the official location to Blue Ridge, so a new flag became necessary.

    Commissioners had previously received a Georgia state flag that flew over the state Capitol from State Representative Johnny Chastain.

    A United States flag was given to Chairman Jamie Chastain by an individual.
