As we neared the end of the 60 day display period allowed by the Buena Vista Zoning Ordinance for decorative signs, BV had its first taste of winter. On November 29 and 30, a weather system surprised the Saginaw-Bay City-Midland area with 6 to 8 inches of snow. This made it clear that our brave little signs could easily get lost amidst all the white stuff. By Sunday, temps in the 40's and some rain made it easy to remove the sign supports from the soil. So, on December 4, the Buena Save signs disappeared until Springtime.
Many thanks to the supportive homeowners and businesses - and to Buena Vista Charter Township - for providing "gallery space" for this out-of-the-mainstream public art project. It is my intention to redouble my door-to-door efforts over the winter to secure display opportunities for more signs through the Spring and Summer driving seasons of 2012. I also hope to build some more links from this Buena Save blog to sites that will connect this project to its historical roots and to other fun places in the vicinity.
Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome! Please take the opportunity to let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance - Bill
