Hey, Gahanna residents and businesses! Are you proud of Gahanna?

How would anyone know?

The Gahanna Foundation has an easy, enduring and cheap way to show your pride in your community: Simple and brilliant idea --- Buy and fly a Gahanna city flag. It's that easy.

Use the QR code below to buy the size flag (5 sizes) you want. They make a great addition to your business (see Creekside Cafe and Third Base Pint House) or home.

Two years ago, The Gahanna Foundation declared March 20th of each year as "Fly Your Gahanna City Flag Day." (Fact: no other city in Franklin County has a recognized day like "Fly Your Gahanna City Flag Day.")

TGF has increased the sale of Gahanna city flags from The Flag Lady Shop, our local manufacturing partner, from zero to a lot. Be a leader, buy and fly your flag.

If enough Gahanna flags are displayed, maybe just maybe city officials --- you know, the ones we pay to run and maybe promote the city --- will have one displayed at their home or business?

The Gahanna Foundation is pleased to announce the installation today of three cute Gahanna city flags at Creekside Cafe, home of the best breakfast in town.

These three official city flags ( not to be confused with the city seal ), identify Creekside Cafe as a business leader ready to show its community pride!

(BTW, no other business on Mill Street has a flag to be seen.)

Creekside Cafe has partnered with The Gahanna Foundation and its "Fly Your City Flag Gahanna Campaign" started on March 20, 2025.

Maybe other neighborhood businesses, especially Mill Street businesses, will get the hint that they should also have the 3-stars flying from their store front?

Order your own Gahanna city flag for your home or business ( 5 sizes to choose from ). Use the attached QR code image to order your size. Flags are made locally by The Flag Lady Shop.

The Gahanna Foundation has its sights set on boosting registered voters and election participation.

Today in Texas, in the Republican runoff election between US Senate candidates Cornyn and Paxton, TGF's cause celeb---voter turnout---was highlighted again in pure sadness.

Cornyn said one reason he lost the runoff race was that only 8% of registered voters voted.

8% !!!! There is no floor in America's elections where an election is called due to voter turnout soon low that the election should be called null and void.

Democracy Challenge and its student driven project called Doctors for Democracy can change the voting landscape for better.

Once again, the big nationally exposed primary congressional race in Kentucky yesterday, between Trump tormenter Massie and Trump endorsed Guillen, was yet another sad demonstration of terrible voter turnout at 27%.

The Gahanna Foundation created Democracy Challenge to counterattack demonstrations of civic ignorance and apathy like this much ballyhood election.
