Visitors to Sisters will be greeted by a new "Welcome to Sisters" sign at the west end of town, courtesy of the Sisters Rotary Club.
Jim Craig and Kevin Spencer crafted the sign on a 4.5 ton piece of granite. The letters were sandblasted into the rock and will be painted to highlight them so that the sign is readily visible from Highway 20.
A frame will be constructed from logs donated by Swiss Mountain Log Homes.
A crane crew hoisted the sign into place on Thursday, June 21.
The installation marked the culmination of several years of planning, fund-raising and work.
"We wanted to have it up by the Centennial celebration," Craig noted.
