Photo: Flag to welcome Great Race goes up over Broadway

On Tuesday morning a large American flag was placed over Broadway at the border of the 200 and 300 block to welcome the participants of the Great Race. Racers are expected to roll into town at about 5 p.m., with a party at the finish line downtown after all the racers arrive, starting about 6:30 p.m.
