The 175th Anniversary Harrison Town Seal

Lamp post banners will be going up across the Town of Harrison announcing the town's 175th Anniversary of its founding.  The Lamp post banners will contain the 175th Anniversary Harrison Town Seal which was designed by Jia Wen (Karen) Zheng, the 2015 Harrison High School Valedictorian.  Zheng was asked whether she could draw the seal by Councilman Anselmo Millan who is also the President of the Harrison Fest Committee which has joined the Mayor and Council to organize, plan and run the events surrounding the 175th Anniversary.

As Zheng will freely admit, she felt ill equipped at first to tackle the task but soon realized that with a little research and input from Councilman Millan that she could incorporate Harrison's past and it bright future in a new town seal.  Thus, the 175th Anniversary Town of Harrison Seal was sketched and subsequently incorporated into the Lamp post banners.

Act Fast Before It's Too Late to Sponsor Harrison Fest Banners

2015 is the 175th anniversary of the founding of the Town of Harrison, NJ, and it is a year for some grand celebrations. During this celebration year, the Town of Harrison is working with the Harrison Fest Committee together to develop a number of events and programs for the town. One of the first projects being developed is the establishment of lamppost banners that will tell everyone passing through our downtown of the 175th anniversary. Your firm has the opportunity of being recognized as a prominent supporter of this project and having your corporate name printed on 30 lamp post banners throughout the downtown of Harrison.

These banners (18” x 36”) will include a design produced by the town along with your company’s name. They will be displayed throughout the summer and fall seasons on the traditional lampposts along Harrison Avenue and Frank E. Rodgers Blvd. The price for this sponsorship is $3500.00 for all 30 banners or $1750.00 for 15 of them. The first company to commit to the full amount or two companies to commit to being half sponsors will be accepted. The sooner your company recognizes the value of the visibility of these banners – the sooner they will be produced, the longer they will be on display, and the more visibility of your name will be generated.

If you are interested in being the sponsor of these lamppost banners for the town, please call (973) 268-2706 to discuss, or send this application with your check to: Harrison Fest Committee, P.O. Box 509, Harrison, NJ 07029 as soon as possible. The sooner you respond, the longer your lamppost banners will be displayed.
