<p class="MsoNormal">Do the banners need to be vented so the brackets won’t break?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our banner brackets are part of the poles, but Albany Rotary clubs found the banner size too small for their 2020 Hero Banner Program (Veterans and 1<sup>st</sup> Responders). They added temporary brackets below the permanent ones and most
survived. This past fall, Rotary decided to double up adding a streetside banner and there were more failures. They can’t vent the banners since they are people’s faces. I’ve seen a printable screen material advertised, but don’t have any experience with it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are having issues with our brackets being able to withstand the winds here in Gold Beach. The ones we purchased are under warranty and were supposed to withstand our wind speeds but they continue to break. We are reaching out to see
if any of the other Oregon Main Streets have a company they recommend for their brackets. <o:p></o:p></p>
