All local businesses were invited to sponsor the flags, which highlight Chetek's water, woods and fishing. Banners will hang from city-owned hardware from spring through fall.
Owners who haven't ordered a banner have until Saturday to get their money to Clerk Carmen Newman.
The city council approved a request to look into banners in May. Council members favored dressing up the town; they also waived off-premise sign fees to give owners a way to advertise.
Letters went out to all businesses in June.
Creative Concepts designed the 30-foot by 60-foot vinyl flags, which cost $125. They have an 18-month (continuous) or four-season warranty.
The city has received payments from the following 22 businesses:
B and B Bar & Grill, Bob's Grill, Chetek Bakery, Chetek Therapy & Fitness, Dairy Queen, First National Bank, GTC Auto, Indianhead Insurance, Jennings, Cote & Wieckowicz LLC, Kirkwood's Market, Kwik Trip, Lake Country Tool & Design, Lamperts, Luther Midelfort Northland, Midwest Dental, Northlakes Drive In, Ohde Health Mart Pharmacy, Red Cedar Electric, Red's, Rod & Gun Sport Shop, The Chetek Alert and Wisconsin Indian Head Country.
To order a banner or for information, contact Newman at 924-4838.
