How To Display The US Flag



When dressing a stage for a political event, Flags cannot be overlooked.



Flag Protocol:
  • When displayed from a staff, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the speaker's right as he faces the audience.
  • When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker.
  • Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the speaker or to the right of the audience.

Chair Layout Part 1 - How To Design A Layout To Fit Your Event Space

Image
Designing an Optimal Chair Layout: The most important part of the chair layout is not the chairs themselves - it is the aisles. If the aisles are not planned properly, your guests will spend a lot of time waiting to get into their seats, delaying the start of the performance. Safety is always important, so the access aisles should also allow your guests to get out of the room quickly. Row Aisles: When planning the layout for an audience, it is important to allow enough room between rows of chairs for guests to enter and exit the rows before and after a lecture or performance. The absolute minimum is eighteen inches. Any less than this and you could have major problems with moving the audience in and out of the space in a timely fashion. The amount of chairs in the row should be no more than fifteen. Your guests in the center of the row will then have to walk only ten or twelve feet to get out of the row. Middle Aisles: Center Aisles, Side Aisles & Lateral Aisles The other pl

How to design a Poster Board Layout

Mark Saponaro camelotspecialevents.com Poster Board Goals The best poster board has more graphics than text and is easily readable in a very short amount of time.   The poster board should be self-explanatory  so any reader can easily follow the content without stopping to figure out what they just read.    The goal is to make your main points (2 or 3 total...do not overload with info) in a limited amount of space (typically a 4'x 6' poster board) with attention grabbing info & graphics. This type of poster board will allow a reader to fully understand your topic, its premise, and ultimate conclusion. Text Use a simple font for printed text (eg. Arial) that can be read from a distance of about 3 feet.  This means the type size should be about 1/2 inch tall.  For the Title text, use a 1 inch high type size.  Print out a test page and measure the font with a ruler to check for appropriate size.  Hang this test paper on the wall and see how far away it

KEEPING FOOD WARM AT YOUR PARTY

Image
Hot plates, crock pots, ovens, stoves, and microwaves can all be used to keep food warm at your party. They are not the best choice when it comes to a buffet. You want your guests to have easy access to a variety of hot food. The best way to accomplish this is with Chafing Dishes (also called Chafers). Chafers have their own heat source which is used to heat water which in turn heats the food. There is no direct flame on the food pan so your food stays warm without burning. The heat is most often created by an ethanol (alcohol) based gel in a can ( Sterno ). The fuel can last two to three hours depending on wind and how much the adjustable sterno cover is opened. The standard 8 quart Chafer is all stainless steel and consists of a base with at least two removable sterno cup holders and adjustable covers, a water pan, a food pan, and a cover. Preparing your chafer for use is easy: First, put about 2" of hot water in the water pan (the largest one). Next, load the p
