The Hamilton County Board of Supervisors officially declared May 23 and 24 Poppy Days in Webster City during its meeting recently.

Poppy sales are most frequently associated with Remembrance Day or National Poppy Day. They are a form of fundraising during which individuals donate to receive a poppy flower, often a red crepe paper poppy, according to the American Legion Auxiliary.

Poppy sales in Webster City will be at Fareway and Hy-Vee on Friday, May 23, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Saturday, May 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.
