- 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:
“An individual is an encloser. Time and space, liberty and necessity, truth and thought, are left at large no longer.”

Are not in time and space.
From birth to death hurled
No word do they have, not one
To plant a foot upon,
Were never in any place.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
“I wrote a great deal of verse. In fact, every time I fell in love, which was rather often, I burst into the emotional sort of thing which is perennially salable.”
