Ranger Smith Recycling Center Boo Boo Meadow First Impression Sign Co. would like to thank all of the parks for their continued support with sign orders. This past year we added new equipment allowing us to serve your needs in a more timely fashion. It is our mission to support the parks with their individual sign needs by utilizing the highest quality material available, and supplying a seven year warranty which is the best in the industry. We are looking forward to the symposium where you can view our new designs that we have created in 2014. As you know, Warner Brothers is requiring the parks to have their facility signs in place by May 2015. We know that the required sign package is an additional expense to the parks and to help the parks financially we teamed up with LSI last spring and offered a 10% discount on the facility signs. To add additional support for the purchase of the signs, First Impression Sign Co. has made arrangements with a leasing company to finance the facility sign package over three years. The parks will still receive the discounted Facility Sign Program offered by LSI. Please visit our booths at Symposium.
