We love it when our clients send us photos of our signs in action. This Seat Sign was produced for the Flynn Center's private event held on September 19th. It was a thank you party to the supporters of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts who generously donated to their seat project. In return, the Flynn Center named a seat in their honor.

Rebecca Janney attended the event with her family, and got to pose with Flynn Center Executive Director, John Killacky, next to her seat.The new seats were made possible with a generous, anonymous donation to the Flynn. With the addition of new seating, the Flynn opted, among other things, to repaint the kiosk in the outer lobby, add new carpeting in the lobby, and expand the balcony seating.

A replacement for seats that were in the theater for sixty years, these new seats look great against the art deco walls and were arranged to offer better site lines to the stage.

Congratulations Flynn Center for the Performing Arts!

The LCI 2012 Father's Day Derby awards ceremony is tonight! Congratulations to all of the winners--what a boatload of prizes (including actual boats).

And thank you to LCI for allowing us to contribute to your awesome and important organization and the LCI Fishing Derby in particular.. We agree with your motto: Because a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Lake Champlain is the only option.

Thank you for your organization's diligent efforts to increase awareness of our natural resources, and attention brought to the importance of having a clean Lake Champlain.

Carol McQuillen, Chair of the nonprofit organization, Common Roots, needed signs for the South Burlington Farmers' Market that's starting its season June 17th. The market has moved to a new location at the Middle/High School parking lot on Dorset Street, which will allow the market to host more vendors.

What was exciting to us, in addition to the market, was Common Roots' whole mission of food-to-school initiatives. Carol talks about the work with true excitement--she loves having families eat healthy, locally grown food, and she loves to see students learning how and where their food comes from.

Common Roots is involved with all five of South Burlington's schools through a variety of initiatives, including Farm 2 Go, School Supported Agriculture, and a Food Education program. All of these programs  introduce fresh food, farming practices, or provide food preparation that is served in the local school cafeterias.

Growing children require quality, nutritious food--Bravo, Common Roots, for providing food and education to our local community!

. . . And more bad puns like that have been used all day today. We did have fun deciding what "the bear" would be wearing--and a cloak of GREEN leaves is perfect.

This bear is part of Burlington Bears Its Art, a collaboration of community, art and business. We're a little late--bears decorated by other area businesses are already on the street (specifically Church Street and the Marketplace), but tomorrow we'll transport our leafy bear to the folks who will transport him to a public place somewhere in Burlington for viewing from May to September, 2012.

We opted to show our sign production expertise and wrap this over-sized teddy bear rather than simply paint him. We chose green as a way for us to start telling our clients about our green sign options. All of our graphics are printed on our new printer, which offers a solvent-free, full-color option that's far more earth friendly than other printers' output.

In the fall, he will be auctioned off and the partial proceeds will go to COTS (Committee on Temporary Shelter).
