Sign wars come to Leamington LEAMINGTON — One of the most recent trends in business has made its way to Leamington as #SignWars began here late last week. Wendy Parsons, General Manager of the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce shared the ideas with her members after seeing it catch on in some areas of the U.S. and in other chambers across Ontario. The membership took it from there, with more businesses getting involved every day. Parsons encourages local businesses to participate even if you don’t have a marquee sign to use. “A piece of paper and
a Sharpie will go a long way,” said Parsons. “This is a great way for everyone to have some fun and provide some smiles as we wait to emerge from COVID.” “Whether you’re in Leamington, Kingsville, Wheatley, Pelee Island or wherever, we want to see your signs,” she said. For Crave’s Chad Robinson, he sees it as good, clean fun. “The Signwars have been a fun and hilarious way to re-engage our collective audiences,” he said. “Witty, clean and entertaining, they brighten the gloomiest of lockdown days.”
Wishing you all a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY Rick Nicholls, MPP CHATHAM-KENT-LEAMINGTON
