The International Forest of Friendship was a gift to America on her 200th birthday in 1976 from the City of Atchison, the Ninety-Nines (International Organization of Women Pilots), and the University of Kansas Forestry Extension.
The Forest is nestled on a gentle slope overlooking Lake Warnock, on the outskirts of Atchison.
It is made up of trees from all fifty states and thirty-five countries around the world where the over 12 hundred Honorees reside.
Liebsch encourages children to attend and hold the flags from those places, beginning with registration at 8:30.
The children's program will run from nine until 11, with the Parade of Flags at 9:45.
The honoree induction will begin at 10.
