Behind the Sign

Meyer Sign is proud to have been chosen to design, fabricate, and install an impressive sign that marks the entry to Skagit Regional Airport -- thanks to a collaboration between Port of Skagit and Heritage Flight Museum. While the sign itself is impressive -- just try and find another sign in the Magic Skagit that has an actual airplane mounted to it -- the bigger story "behind the sign" is the historical and cultural venue it signifies. In this Tales From the Magic Skagit story, the executive director of Heritage Flight Museum, Lt. Col. Greg Anders, shares the story of his family's tribute to combat air veterans, and the legacy it hopes to leave for the Skagit Valley.

Meyer Sign has participated with Skagit Publishing in sponsoring stories about local no-profits that are making our Magic Skagit a better place to live. The story we chose to tell, which is being published on Thanksgiving Day 2021 by Skagit Publishing in a special Giving Guide, is about Underground Ministries -- an organization that partners throughout our community with individuals, faith groups, and the correctional system to ensure the successful return co community of those who have been imprisoned for having offended it. The opportunity for healing and transformation this process creates is something for which we can all be thankful.

Every now and again a sign project comes along that elevates the story of its evolution to “must read” status — not simply because of how the sign was made and installed, but because of how it came into being in the first place. Such is the case with our recent signage project on behalf of the Port of Skagit and Heritage Flight Museum.
