This year we celebrated our 5th year hosting Sign Manufacturing Day. It's an annual event hosted by sign companies across the country. The International Sign Association (ISA) encourages its members to invite local high school students into their shop to give them a peek into what a career in our field can look like. It's meant to engage them, inspire them, and most importantly learn the impact of creating something with your own two hands. We're beyond proud of having 250+ students this year from LaPorte High, Porter County Career and Tech Center, , New Prairie High School, , and Wild Roots Collective. Thank you to all of the educators who participated in our event, we can't wait to have you back next year. An immense thank you to our event partners Duneland Chamber of Commerce , your continued support of our company and this event means the world to us. We also would love to thank our partners for the event. Mid-West Sign Supply and Family Express were our food sponsors, and BOYYY did our students eat! Watchfire was our material sponsor and helped us let the students be able to design and build miniature signs. Simko Signs , Tonn and Blank Construction, Ivy Tech Community College, and Tru- Weld Stud Welding were there to set up tables to talk to students about what they do. The largest thank you goes to our staff and volunteers for the day. Your passion is what makes this event so successful every year. We are beyond proud to have you all as part of our team.
