A paint stirrer, attached so that only the curved handle is exposed, is good.

Also, a cardboard tube, flattened is good. That passed muster in NYC where the police were very strict when the Chinese premiere was there. It was long enough to hold high.

Next time I Freep, I'm going to try two tubes stapled in one length. Long enough to let rest on the ground, yet be high enough to see.

BobJ (FRN) just advised me - no stakes - for safety reasons. But .. thanks!
