Community Banner Project to Commemorate America’s 250th Anniversary at the Old Forge Library

Community Banner Project

Join the Old Forge Library in creating a community banner to commemorate America's 250th!

With this collaborative Community Banner Project, participants will create decorative fabric squares that will be joined together into a commemorative masterpiece honoring key American holidays.

Project Details:

• The project kicks off on Friday, May 22, and Saturday, May 23, from 11 am to 1 pm

• Focus on Memorial Day–themed designs.

• As a special bonus, attendees will also have the opportunity to craft a smaller personal door banner to take home.

• The library will provide all necessary materials,

  • Including 10-inch fabric squares, stencils, paint, patches, ribbons, and sewing supplies.

• Participants who cannot attend the live sessions are encouraged to stop by the library to pick up a square and complete their design at home.

Additional Workshop Dates:

• Independence Day Themes: Friday, July 3 ( 11 am to 1 pm) and Tuesdays, June 30 & July 7 (2 – 3 pm)

• Labor Day Themes: Friday, September 4 ( 11 am to 1 pm)

The completed banner will be officially unveiled during the library’s Veterans Day Brunch on November 9, standing as a tribute to the community’s shared history and spirit.
