Burma Shave Sign Party

We will be creating the first of our series of Burma Shave-inspired signs to be placed along Cedar Avenue with traffic-calming themes on Sunday, October 18th between 2-4 pm at 4223 12th Avenue S.

If you would like to help create the signs, please stop by and lend a hand.

If you would like to donate materials for sign construction, here is the list of items we need:

plywood sheeting - our signs will be 2'x4', so scraps this big or larger that we can cut to size

9" paint roller brush

1 qt (?) green exterior paint (as close to the CAU color green as possible)

wooden stakes 3-4' in length

1-2 cans white spray paint

1-2 cans florescent (clear) spray paint

letter stencils - 6-8" in height

Materials donations can be dropped off at 4223 12th Ave before the event, or the day of - although we will need the plywood, green paint and roller brush by Sat Oct 17th so that they can be pre-painted. If you have materials to donate but cannot get them to us, email me at jle819@hotmail.com with what you wish to donate, and I can arrange to pick them up.


We also need volunteer yards; preferably 4 in a row. If you and your neighbors on Cedar would like to host these signs let us know!

We hope to see you on Sunday, Oct 18th!
