Let's delve into the details of this exciting project and how it will benefit the entire Manawa School District.
Preserving History: Refurbishing the Park's Sign
Learn about the efforts to refurbish and update the sign at Triangle Park, preserving its historical significance.
The current sign at Triangle Park, erected by the Manawa Federated Women's Club in 1986, holds sentimental value for the community. To preserve its historical significance, FineLee Finished Carpentry of Manawa has taken on the responsibility of refurbishing the sign. Their expertise will ensure that the sign is restored to its former glory, paying homage to the past while embracing the future.
Additionally, the Little Wolf High School Art Department will contribute their artistic talents by painting the logos of various churches, clubs, and civic organizations in the Manawa School District. This collaborative effort will create a visually stunning display that represents the diverse fabric of our community.
Embracing Technology: The Digital Sign Addition
Explore the exciting addition of a double-sided digital sign to Triangle Park, enhancing communication and promoting community events.
Triangle Park is about to enter the digital age with the addition of a state-of-the-art double-sided digital sign. Creative Sign Co. of De Pere will be installing this modern marvel, which will serve as a platform for announcing meeting dates and special events for all the churches, clubs, and organizations represented on the sign.
Not only will the digital sign keep the community informed about upcoming events, but it will also provide an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to promote their own special events. This interactive feature will foster greater community engagement and ensure that Triangle Park remains a hub of activity and connection.
