Town of Boones Mill issued the following announcement on Oct. 20
The Town of Boones Mill unveiled its newest addition just in time for the 43rd Annual Boones Mill Apple Festival. After a long wait and much planning, the new LOVE sign was installed in front of Carter Bank and Trust on Friday, October 15th. Boones Mill Town Council member, Sarah Eames, designed the iconic sign to display key features representative of the Town’s heritage. Each letter in the LOVE sign represents a piece of the Town’s history that still lives on today through the annual Apple Festival and the restoration of the Boones Mill N&W Railway Depot among others. Several businesses and volunteers offered their support to make the LOVE sign project a success for the Town. Carter Bank and Trust provided the location for the sign which can be seen by anyone traveling along U.S. Highway 220. Titan Trains cut the letters from aluminum, PostScript Art Studios created the colorful graphic work, and Boone Dominion Process Company provided the structural components and assisted in the installation of the sign. The Boones Mill Volunteer Fire Department also assisted in erecting the sign.
“The LOVEWORKS program provided Boones Mill a wonderful opportunity to share our LOVE for the Town with residents and visitors alike! The Town is grateful for the partnerships with the local businesses that made the sign a reality! We look forward to sharing our LOVE of Boones Mill with everyone coming to and passing through Town! We LOVE Boones Mill!” states B.T. Fitzpatrick III, Town Manager. Mr. Fitzpatrick oversaw the LOVE sign project which was made possible through a grant from the Virginia Tourism Corporation.
