- on Midsummer the flag is flown from 6 PM on Midsummer Eve to 9 PM on Midsummer Day
- on Independence Day the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM.
- on election days, if the election goes on after sunset, the flag is flown from 8 AM to 8 PM

Famous quotes containing the word time:
“A set of ideas, a point of view, a frame of reference is in space only an intersection, the state of affairs at some given moment in the consciousness of one man or many men, but in time it has evolving form, virtually organic extension. In time ideas can be thought of as sprouting, growing, maturing, bringing forth seed and dying like plants.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Say, what abridgement have you for this evening?
What masque, what music? How shall we beguile
The lazy time if not with some delight?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
