The 4,000 bright yellow �We Believe� banners waved by Kansas City Royals fans during Tuesday night�s first game of the World Series were created in Reno County.



The signs were a last-minute order, according to John Fredricks, vice president of sales and marketing at Gregory Incorporated. The Buhler business provides a wide variety of sign-making materials and graphics with customers across the U.S. and 15 countries.



�We were asked by a customer of ours Monday around 10 a.m. to produce the banners,� Fredricks said. �The only hitch was that we had to have the banners delivered to Kansas City by 10:30 Tuesday morning. �They accepted the challenge. And a team of workers kept producing nonstop until 12:45 a.m. Tuesday."



They produced the banners and had them delivered in just over 24 hours. At 6 a.m. Tuesday, an employee was headed from Buhler to Kansas City with the 4,000 banners in hand.



Fredricks was hoping he would see the banners being waved by fans while watching the World Series on TV.
