NEW ACTIVITY OFFERED AT THE MURRAY COUNTY FAIR

THE MOBILE SIGN SHOP MAKE AND TAKE A HANDMADE WOODEN SIGN

The Mobile Sign Shop is inspired by the vernacular of wooden/engraved/painted/ handmade signs found in National/State Parks and at cabins and homes in Greater Minnesota and beyond. The Mobile Sign Shop is housed in a custom trailer with all the necessary supplies provided. Participants create their own, customized, carved wooden signs with the guidance and assistance of the staff of the sign shop. This activity provides an opportunity for people to converse about something we all have stories about, our names and families. This craft brings out people’s curiosity and willingness to engage in a project. This is a free activity for adults, teens and older children. There will be space for 60 people to participate over a 3 hour time period.

Sponsored by the Slayton Public Library through a Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Grant.

Thursday, August 17 from 2:00 – 5:00 pm near Heritage Hall
