OGDEN — There will never, ever be enough foster parents, and that is why about 20 people marched down 25th Street and planted 700 purple and white flags at the Municipal Building to celebrate National Foster Care Month.

Each flag represents a child who is currently in foster care in the Northern Region, which is from North Salt Lake to the Idaho border, said Brenda Durtschi, who finds foster adoptive families for Utah Foster Care Foundation. There are currently 350 foster families in the Northern Region.
