As mentioned before WHAS has secured the funding for two Deery Memorial Interpretive signs at Lake Sacajawea. Two artists are either working on research or the actual art itself. One will complete work by the first week in July and the other by the first week in August. The graphic work then takes a week or so, and the production of the actual signs about 4 weeks. With that schedule in mind, the first sign will be up in September and the second in October. Check back later for more details.
