Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > Perhaps the core activity of a NAVA meeting is the presentations. NAVA Meetings are really a symposium where fascinating scholarly papers or talks are given on any number of flag related topics.

Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > I find the "Vexibits" part of the meeting to be a highlight of the event. That is a show and tell type forum where normally anyone may share interesting flags or related items. I brought four flag stories to share with me but I did not get to show any. So I offer them here as "virtual vexibits." TR's Rough Riders flag.

Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > The Colrain flag- The first US flag raised over a school house. I love the whimsical abstract star field. Doesn't it seem way ahead of its time?
History provided by Dave Martucci: In 1812, a US Flag was raised over a school house on Catamount Hill in Colrain, Massachusetts. As far as we know, this was the first known instance of such a display in connection with a school house. As you know, the flag is universally flown over schools today. It became a popular thing to do during the Civil War, but the citizens of Colrain anticipated the future in 1812. At any rate, for many years the exact design of the flag was unknown (and was erroneously described in a number of publications as a 17-star, 17-stripe flag) but it surfaced a few years ago and has been authenticated (I've seen it). It's a 16-star, 13-stripe US Flag.
