Vertical event flyer with a playful, nature-inspired design in dark green, yellow, white, and light accent colors. Across the top is a photo of Schramm Education Center with three overlapping, Polaroid-style photos showing people exploring an aquarium, participating in crafts around tables, and viewing an exhibit. Small text under the left photo reads, “Photos by Nebraska Games and Parks Commission.” A yellow circle on the upper right reads, “Sunday, November 15.” Below the photos, large white, light green, and yellow text reads, “Deaf & Hard of Hearing Awareness Day,” followed by, “An afternoon of community, nature, and culture!” Four illustrated icons highlight the day’s activities from left to right: an open book for “ASL Storytime,” an artist palette for “Nature De’VIA Activity,” a turtle for “Live Animal Show,” and a fish for “Aquarium Exploration.” Event information below reads, “1:00–4:00 pm CST,” “Schramm Education Center, 21502 West Highway 31, Gretna, NE,” and “ASL Interpreters Provided.” To the right is a QR code outlined by a yellow wavy border with an arrow and the words, “Scan to Register.” Along the bottom are the logos for the Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, UNO Allies for Sign Language, Greater Metro Regional Program, Nebraska Association of the Deaf, and Nebraska Hands & Voices.
