ID: A person stands confidently on the steps of a vintage yellow and brown streetcar, smiling. The person is wearing glasses, a black shirt, and black pants. Their right hand is resting on their hip, and they are positioned just outside the open door of the streetcar. The streetcar is parked on tracks, with trees and a blue sky in the background. The words “STOP 10 FEET BACK REQUIRED BY LAW” are visible on the side of the streetcar. The atmosphere feels bright and sunny, with the lush greenery surrounding the scene.
Happy Friday the 13th!

The letters are in the following colors: "H" is yellow with a handshape resembling the letter "H" in ASL. "U" is orange with the ASL handshape for "U." Both "Z"s are red and teal with matching ASL handshapes. "A" is yellow with the ASL handshape for "A." "H" is orange with the ASL handshape for "H" (repeated at the end). Below this, in large, bold yellow text, it says: "SIGN LANGUAGE SATURDAY!" Further down, in slightly smaller yellow text: "Saturday, September 21st" At the bottom, there is a logo for Keystone Interpreting Solutions (KIS), which features the outline of the state of Minnesota in green with the letters "KIS" inside, colored in dark blue.
