Flick Fact: Just how big and how much does that HUGE flag at Belle Tire in Bloomington weigh?
Question: One of those huge American flags - 20-by-30 feet, in fact - is flown at the Belle Tire outlet in Bloomington, along Veterans near GE Road. Not only is it impressively b-i-g, do you know how much a flag like that weighs and how often it has to be replaced, due to wear?
Answer: The flags at Belle Tire, says the company, are standard and can weigh more than 70 pounds, supplied by a Farmington Hills, Michigan, flag maker. Even if built to last, the massive flags have to be replaced frequently (usually every two months) due to wear, says the company.
