Happy Nevada Day season, Silver State! 🏔️✨
Did you know Nevada is the only state in the country that throws an official statewide parade for its birthday? Celebrating October 31, 1864, the historic Carson City Nevada Day Parade has been a community tradition since 1938!

Whether you’re setting up lawn chairs at sunrise along Carson Street, hosting a backyard gathering in Reno, or waving the blue from Fallon, Fernley, Dayton, or the Carson Valley—don't show up empty-handed!

We have all your Battle Born gear locally right here in Sparks, including:

🔹 Battle Born & Geometric Mountain Hoodies (essential for those frosty high-desert parade mornings!)
🔹 Knit Battle Born Beanies & Classic Everyday Tees
🔹 Heavy-Duty Outdoor Nevada Flags
🔹 Nevada Trivia Ceramic Mugs (perfect for hot c***r or cocoa along the route)

📦 How to Get Your Gear:

High-desert winds across Northern Nevada will destroy cheap, store-bought flagpoles in a single afternoon! 💨🇺🇸

Whether you are in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Gardnerville, Spanish Springs, Dayton, Fernley, or Minden, flying Old Glory requires hardware engineered for 90+ MPH winds. As Northern Nevada’s flagpole experts for over 40 years, here is why our Nevada-built poles outlast the rest:

❌ Why Standard Poles Fail:

Sectional Poles: Don't work here—desert gusts bend the joints and snap them easily.

Telescoping Poles: Fine dust and wind torque jam internal mechanisms, causing them to fail after just 2–3 years.

✅ Built for Nevada (Lasts Year After Year):
We’ve sold heavy-duty steel flagpoles for over 30 years designed to take everything local weather throws at them:

1 7/8" x 21' Nevada Flagpole: Residential high-wind favorite for flying one 3'x5' flag.

2 3/8" x 21' Heavy-Duty Nevada Flagpole: Upgraded strength engineered to fly two 3'x5' flags at once.
(Larger commercial sizes also in stock!)

🛠️ Unbeatable Durability:
Our commercial-grade hardware lasts 20 to 30 years. You only ever replace:

Snap hooks: every 2–3 years

Rope (halyard): every 5–7 years

💡 PRO TIPS FOR NEVADA WINDS:
1️⃣ Set ground sleeves in 3 to 4 feet of concrete for maximum wind shear resistance.
2️⃣ Pair your pole with heavy-duty 2-ply spun polyester flags (like Tough-Tex) to prevent fraying!

A Note On Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a time to reflect on those and their families who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We have the opportunity to do business with a large number of Veterans and have seen these sacrifices first hand. Every day we are amazed by their strength and courage.
This Memorial Day please take the time to ponder and pay respect to those that are no longer with us. Because of them and their families sacrifice we live in the greatest country in the world.

What Memorial Day Truly Means
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a sacred time to commemorate those who died in military service. Unlike Veterans Day, which celebrates all who served, Memorial Day is specifically dedicated to the fallen. It’s a day of national mourning, but also a day of pride in the legacy of freedom they left behind.

The Half-Staff Tradition
There is a unique protocol for flying the American flag on Memorial Day that many people are surprised to learn:

The Morning: The flag should be hoisted briskly to the peak for an instant and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position.

The Afternoon: At precisely 12:00 PM (noon), the flag should be raised to the very top of the staff.

The Sunset: The flag remains at full staff until sunset, symbolizing that the nation lives on through the memory of our heroes.

No Inground Pole? Use a Mourning Ribbon
If you display your flag from a wall-mounted bracket or a short pole where lowering it to half-staff isn’t physically possible, you can still observe the tradition with a Mourning Ribbon.

Pro-Tip: Attach a black crepe ribbon to the top of your flag pole. The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and flow freely. This “Black Ribbon” method is the official way to signify mourning on flags that are fixed in place.
