The banners which hung in downtown Windsor to celebrate the Detroit Tigers trip to the World Series are coming down.
The City of Windsor announced today the banners would be sold first come, first served for $150. The city bought the 50 banners for $10,000 for an average of $200 per banner. If they successfully sell all 50, the city will have spent $2,500 for three week’s usage of the banners.
“This is a great opportunity for Detroit Tigers fans to own a unique piece of local history,” said Mayor Eddie Francis.
A city spokesperson said many of the banners were already spoken for and very few of the original 50 were still available.
Those wishing to purchase a banner may contact the mayor’s office.
