Liberty pole in place (needs a tweak), nice breeze, nice day (72°). My old liberty pole was a tree, it fell apart so I went with plan B, a PT 4x4 I already had. I want a real Bedford Flag between the flags.
"Liberty poles were often erected in town squares in the years before and during the American Revolution (e.g. Concord, Massachusetts; Newport, Rhode Island; Caughnawaga, New York; Savannah, Georgia and Englewood, New Jersey[11]). Some colonists erected liberty poles on their own private land[citation needed][original research?] (such as in Bedford, Massachusetts since 1964 and Woburn, Massachusetts—the pole raising there is reenacted annually[citation needed])." (for those who dont know, myself and many of my friends have been to many recappings in Bedford, but I call mine a unity pole)
