Living Flag to celebrate 1812 with FM 99 and Chevrolet
On Saturday morning, June 2nd, at the Virginia Beach Patriotic Festival, FM99 and Chevrolet will present a tribute the United States Flag of 1812, the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner.
The Living Flag be created by Hampton Roads Patriots holding pieces of cardboard painted in our favorite colors, Red, White, and Blue.
FM99 is looking for volunteers to BE the Living Flag and help honor the 200th Anniversary of our National Anthem.
Participants will stand on the beach, holding the cardboard above their heads, while photographers document the tribute.
The Flag will begin to assemble at 9am on June 2nd, at the 15th Street Beach, on the North Side of the Pier.
The Flag of 1812 had 15 stripes and 15 stars. Our Living Flag will include 15 rows and 23 columns, for a total of 345 Patriots. The Flag will be approximately 60 feet wide and 40 feet tall.
The Living Flag will be promoted heavily in during the month of May on FM99, The Patriotic Festival website, FM99.com and in press releases and other media. This is a great opportunity for your organization to be a central part of the Patriotic Festival, and to pay tribute to the Flag of 1812, the Star Spangled Banner.
Contact Dave Taylor or Sonja Morrell at FM99 to find out how you and your organization can be a part of this historic anniversary.
