Our Flag

Our

is

the

first

flag

of

the

Alpenrose

Schuhplattler

Verein.

The

flag,

handmade

in

Germany,

was

dedicated

at

the

Alpenrose's

Fahnenweihe

held

at

the

Lancaster

Host

Resort,

June

30-July 2, 2006.

The

flag

design

depicts

the

culture

and

traditions

of

German

heritage

that

the

Verein

strives

to

uphold;

the

rich

farmland

of

Lancaster

Co.,

Pennsylvania,
