Fly your Banners!

Many towns fly colorful banners or flags on the light poles lining their main streets, and I've heard lately of contests being held for design entries of this type. This seems like a creative activity that could easily be tied in with a festival or celebration. Be used as a means to raise money for a worthy cause, or even to show support for an important issue. I can imagine people of all ages creating banners or flags for cities, schools, parks, stadiums, boardwalks, hospitals or poliical parties. A certain theme or method could be suggested, and the works of art would be publicly displayed for a period of time. It seems like a great way to get people involved in their communities and have pride in their creative talents.

Ay, here her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky.
