Washington-area residents are encouraged to think back to the Burma-Shave road signs seen along the countryside for a contest to help promote the community.

The Washington Chamber of Commerce is borrowing the Burma-Shave style of sequential signs spelling out clever phrases to host a slogan contest. Community members can submit a clever saying to promote Washington using five signs that will be placed on County Road G36. The angle of the signs will allow for two phrases to be posted on both sides as people are heading east and west into town. The two contest winners will each receive $50 in Chamber Bucks. Submissions are being accepted now through July 12th. For a link to submit visit here.
