Nearly 30 red, white and blue light pole banners are on display in Beaver Creek, welcoming people to the community.
Local businesses and organizations sponsored the two-sided banners for $125 apiece.
The 18-by-45-inch banners are the same size as the previous “Welcome to Beaver Creek” banners, which means existing hardware could be used for most replacements.
The artwork, designed by Quality Printing in Luverne, features a red-and-blue Patriot, which is the Hills-Beaver Creek School District mascot, and space at the bottom is reserved for the sponsoring business, organization or family.
Banners are displayed on First Avenue and Fourth Street, which have about 20 poles, and they’re also hung on nearby streets, some only on one side of a pole.
Letters were mailed to local businesses and organizations to seek sponsorships, and banners were ordered this winter and hung in the first part of April.
They will remain on display until winter, when they’ll be taken down and replaced with holiday decorations.
