The OB entryway sign is under attack – by termites and the weather.
The wooden iconic welcome was installed back in the mid-Eighties, but now nature has taken its toll. It needs to be replaced.

The OB Town Council had issued a call to the community for new designs. And the Council reports that of those designs submitted fourteen were accepted; they will pare the entries down to about five – and then place the issue up for a community vote. (It’s unclear how that vote will occur – it could be via facebook.)

The town council reported that the response from the community has been 6 to 4 in favor of the original.
The plan is to have the new sign installed by the end of 2012.

And here’s another partial new design:
Will one have to be a member and pay $10 to the OBTC to vote :-)
Correction….$20 bucks! Unless you want to be silver, gold or platinum supporter :-)
