Get Your Banners  

Our popular outdoor banners are back again, and any Dane Buy Local member can order one. Last year we had over 55 of these banners up all over Dane County! This year the 5' x 20" outdoor banner with grommets is $35 (this special pricing assumes at least 10 banners are ordered by DBL members, and we don't expect this to be a problem).   Order yours by Friday, November 4th, from Gina Fenner 845-2800 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Econoprint will collect your order and have the banners ready by November 10th.

Please ask Gina if you would like a special size banner for your business. We have a couple of businesses interested in displaying double-size 10' x 40" banners. Help blanket the county and remind your customers to Think Local First!
