Longaberger Celebrates 40th Anniversary
Honoring America, Flag Day and The Longaberger Company's 40th anniversary, the unfurling of world's largest American flag was the highlight of the Great American Picnic Celebration held at Longaberger Homestead near Frazeysburg OH.
The massive flag, which requires 500 people to handle and extends nearly two football fields in length, was unfurled before a crowd of thousands as county music recording artist Darryl Worley sang the national anthem. The Longaberger event marks the first time this gigantic flag has ever been seen in Ohio.
"Today we have something truly wonderful to celebrate - 40 years of hand-crafted baskets and American opportunity and our renewed commitment to Made in America," said CEO Tami Longaberger. "Today is about family, and America's heritage and our love of American craftsmanship and our shared passion to make America great. We felt that the perfect way to celebrate was with a one-of-a-kind picnic, with the biggest American flag in the world as our centerpiece."
A special commemorative red, white and blue basket was created for the celebration with proceeds benefiting Fisher House, a national charity benefiting American military service members and their families.
