Garberville Rotary Club's President Dennis Abshire has announced that his project for the year will be to erect two poles on Sprowel Creek Road. The poles will be used to stretch a banner, side to side, across the road. The banner will be at least 18' above the roadway.
The banner will be used for announcing town events like the Rodeo, Harley Run, Reggae on the River, the Redway Fire Department Barbecue, and other local events.
It is hoped that the Garberville Chamber of Commerce will agree to administer the use of the banner. Each organization that wishes to advertise will have to manufacture their own banner, which must adhere to strict engineering and design requirements. The poles will become part of a local public utility.
The poles will be either concrete or steel, and they will incorporate a lanyard system that will raise and lower the banner from the ground level. The lanyards will be tamper proof to prevent vandalism. The placement will be just this side of the orange building, and the flowerbed across the street. The banner will stretch at about the level of the roof on the white building in the middle of the photo. The banner will be visible to all traffic coming to, or leaving Garberville.
At this point the plan is still "in the hopper", but engineers are busy as you read this. President Abshire has requested that you comment on his project. Dennis is very excited this improvement to our community. Keep your eyes on this space.

Great project whats the rumbustious?
Good description of the project. When we get the engineered plans, maybe we could do an artist's rendition of the final. If anyone wants to know why the Sprowl Creek location - it doesnt take away from the undergrounded utilities down Redwood Dr. What a view!

What is a "rumbustious"
"Rumbustious" is an old blogger term to let you know that he/she is a photographer, because he/she noticed the cornners of the photograph are Rhombaiod.
The banner will also (should also) be used for public safety and emergencies including everything from water conservation to notices about shelter in the event of a flood or earthquake. Decisions on its use should also include rental rate structure for private business as well as projection of costs for insurance, maintenance, administration, etc. Comments and concerns should be sent to this blog site as well as the Garberville Chamber of Commerce as well as Garberville Sanitary District.
We'll get to decorate it for Christmas. I feel some fundraising coming on.
