The welcome banner
The entrance banner names the event and the date, with sponsor logos along the bottom if they paid to be there. Make it 3 × 8 or 4 × 8 ft so it reads as people pull in, and hang it where the parking lot empties toward the gate. Add a rain date to the banners that go up ahead of time.
Runs, fundraisers and sponsors
- 5K start and finish banners, sized to hang across a course or from an arch; run the 5K and turkey trot banners go up ahead to sign runners up.
- Fundraising goal thermometer: "help us reach $10,000", with marks you can fill in as the total climbs.
- Thank you to our sponsors: gold logos largest, then silver, then bronze, each tier about 60 percent of the one above.
- Vendor booth banners for the people selling at your fair.
Plan for the day
Outdoor events need wind in mind: mesh for fences, and grommets tied at every one. Banners are ready in 2 to 4 business days after you approve the proof, so order a week before at least. Keep them off utility poles, and take them down promptly afterward.
