The shop and yard are full of small bits for the targets. Unassembled they don't make much sense. We are hustling to get them ready to get galvanized. Rather than send the hired truck into the city empty we'll send a load of small bits in and bring the large piece back for finishing. Then we'll trade some more pieces in the next trips as well. In the process we'll save almost half the cost of transport to the galvanizers. It all adds up.
The winner
The winner of the 2016 Sign Challenge was Peter Poanessa from Keene Signworx, New Hampshire. His piece was extremely creative and clever with all manner of strange and wonderful functions. Congratulations Peter on a well deserved win!
A fun time was had by all
It was a delightful and fun time at the International Sign Association EXPO. So much good time was spent with some very good friends who I only get to see once or twice each year. At each meal we shared we traded common stories and helpful advice for we have so much n out lives that is similar. Good times were relived and dreams of the future were shared.
The voting results of our friendly (but fierce) competition were revealed at the end of the day. I'm proud to say that Peter placed in the top five and Peter Poanessa from Keene Signs took first place. All of the entries were over the top creations of fine sign art.
Before we were done there was talk of next year's event... I can hardly wait!
