This one was so big though. I couldn&#8217;t wear it as a cape because it would drag on the floor when I did. I didn&#8217;t really want to carry it around either. I may need to get a smaller, more portable flag (perhaps one on a stick) for next year. <\/p>\n<p>The one benefit of the flag is that it helped Bobbie find me during kickoff. And, it was a great conversation starter because people would inevitably ask, &#8220;What country is this?&#8221; and we would have a good laugh about it being a city flag rather than a country flag. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.
