2022-3 Exhibit Boards Going Up
Five exhibit boards were placed on their posts around the city in the last week. Three are up along Red Jacket Trail – one by the YMCA/West High parking lot, one out at Weagel Park and one in between. There is a new sign by the entrance to the bike trail near the soybean plant by Sibley Park and a new sign by the ponds behind Peacepipe Park. See pictures on our Facebook page.
An error (on our part) caused us to have to reprint some boards and those should be ready for drilling next week. As soon as they are up, we’ll post here and on Facebook.
2021 Exhibit Boards Are UP!
11/2021. Twenty new poem boards were installed. QR codes on all of the sign boards allow visitors to point their smartphone at the board and be taken to a website to hear the poem read to them.
Many thanks to contest judges Roy Guzmán and Michael Kleber-Diggs!
