We have a newly refurbished sign at the south entrance to Bodega Bay!
Many thanks to Shona Weir, of Business Services Unlimited for sending me this information and photos. She said local artist Jody Shipp, Local Color Gallery co-owner, cleaned and repainted it. It took her more than eight hours to complete the job, plus she paid for the paint and new bolts to rehang it. Jody made the signs at the north and south entrances to town many years ago, and plans to refurbish the north sign soon, as well. It's a little more damaged. The poles holding the sign up need to be straightened and more securely put in the ground, but Jody is willing to repair it and repaint it too.
Eric Crumley, of Pipecleaners Chimney and Fireplace, volunteered to take care of the removal, transportation and replacement of the sign for Jody. A local surfer friend named John Lowry helped Eric put the sign up.
She did a good job! It looks good!
ReplyDeleteNice Stufff!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of welcoming sign at the entrance to towns. It's a charming custom I hope never dies. Lovely that someone cared enough to bring it back to life.
