Installation of the BIA’s LED sign at the Tim Hortons corner was completed Apr. 5. All going well the sign will be powered up on Wednesday and we will see various graphics displayed on the sign. The BIA’s LED sign is meant to promote attractions and events in Wingham. (shows at the theatre, fireworks, BIA retail promotions, blood donor clinics, Wingham Community Trail, Alice Munro, etc) At the last BIA board meeting, the board voted in favour of, for the first year, also featuring two BIA member businesses per week… for FREE. You can view this as yet another benefit of being a member of the Wingham BIA. The sign will also be used to welcome new businesses opening in Wingham, and the 5th, 10th, 15th… etc business anniversaries of any BIA member business. If you have a business anniversary coming up be sure to let us know. Special thanks go to: Hodgins Rona for donating the sonotube and lumber for constructing the sign base Township of North Huron Works Dept for their vacuum truck and time in coordinating bringing power to the sign from the MacDonalds corner across the road Sepoy Wiring for much need assistance it getting power to the sign Hurontel for donating a data SIM card for one year allowing us to remotely upload graphics to the sign Ashley Vander Velden of Naturally Bongins for volunteering to create all the graphics that will be displayed on the sign. The BIA is not selling advertising space on the LED sign at this time. Currently we will only be promoting Wingham events and Wingham attractions. Organizations wishing to promote their Wingham event on the BIA’s LED sign are to send an email to info@winghambia.ca with the text and images they wish have on the sign. The BIA board reserves the right to approve or deny any request. Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success. — Henry Ford |
