A press release from the committee is below:

Citizens of Taney County are invited to a Flag Day Ice Cream Social hosted by the Taney County Republican Central Committee on Saturday, June 14, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Branson Rec Plex, Pavilion D, located at 1101 Branson Hills Parkway.
 
The Central Committee chose Flag Day as an opportunity for local, state, and federal officeholders to drop by for an informal meet and greet with the Republican voters in Taney County.  This is also a great time to meet your Committee Man and Committee Woman, who represent the eight Townships in the County, including Beaver, Big Creek, Branson, Jasper, Oliver, Scott, and Swan.
 
Join the Central Committee Members as we honor our national flag and its history, specifically the adoption of the first American flag on June 14, 1777.  The Central Committee Members will be serving complimentary ice cream, bottled water, and a flag to attendees, while supplies last.  Learn more about your Taney County Republican Central Committee on Facebook  @TaneyCountyRepublicanCentralCommittee.  This event will take place in rain or shine!
