Own a piece of town history and make a donation to a good cause all in one purchase

Do you have a blank space on one of your walls just screaming out for a green vertical banner? Are you one of those obsessive flag people who hangs a new flag for every holiday or season?

If so, the town has a deal for you.

For just $20, area residents can buy one of the green banners that adorned the light poles around the downtown area for the past year in honor of the town's centennial celebration. The banners read: "Wake Forest Centennial 1909-2009".

In turn, the town will donate the entire proceeds to Project H.O.P.E. (Helping Others by Providing Electricity), which is a town-created fund to help residents pay their utility bill.

The banners can be purchased at Town Hall, 401 E. Elm Street. Cash, check, Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Call town information officer Bill Crabtree at 554-6196 for more information.
