Flag Day was another busy day for Kerry McCoy, president of Flagandbanner.com, when she celebrated the 230th anniversary of the birth of the United States flag.
The morning started off with Tracy Douglass from KARK channel 4. Tracy and Kerry showed viewers the sewing process of making the flag, informed viewers about the history of the American Flag, and how to fold the American flag. They also discussed the beginnings of Vexillology, the scientific study of flag history and symbolism.
Jason Harper from KATV Channel Seven popped in for a little while to discuss with Kerry about the trends for decorating, and the products she has to offer to decorate your home, office, business, or event. Kerry and Jason also informed viewers about the history of the American flag. After filming ended with Channel 7 and Channel 4, Kerry went to KSSN 94.1for her annual flag give away with DJ Bob Robbins. From the Clear Channel Radio parking lot Bob and Kerry gave out American flags on staffs, or “stick flags” to passer-bys and flag supporters.

After touring FlagandBanner.com, Kerry invited Farah and her friend James to her home, where Kerry’s husband cooked his venison burgers on the grill and served lunch, with their 4 children, on the front porch. The weather, food and company couldn’t have been better.

They draped the outside of her garage with a patriotic swag of red white and blue bunting that framed an American flag. Lit patriotic citronella candles and U.S. stick flags decorated her garden. Her porch eave featured full fans with wind chimes, and her porch railing repeated the patriotic sway of bunting used above the garage.
The last segment illustrated ways to decorate the backyard, the favorite place for 4th of July family gatherings. The back porch was outfitted with stars and stripes pulldowns and full fans, and more full fans and a U.S. flag kit adorned her fence. Kerry and Tracy also showed viewers the wide variety of products offered at the company, Flagandbanner.com from cake stands to patriotic bikinis and sunglasses, to flagpole brackets and pole kits.
