The Village of Sister Bay welcomes visitors any time of the year and village leaders want them to stay safe.  The village's Parks, Properties and Streets Committee on Tuesday approved the concept of placing banners or other signs at highways leading into Sister Bay. They'll have a simple message:  “Our Community.  Our Health.  Our Responsibility. Wear A Mask.”  Village Administrator Beau Bernhoft says it's another way of urging people to come and have fun in a safer and courteous manner.

Several locations were suggested at the meeting.  While the original concept was a banner hanging over a roadway, Parks Manager Dan Lundquist raised a concern about high winds snapping a banner causing it to fall on approaching traffic.  Bernhoft says the type of signage and safety precautions will be addressed before anything is put up. 

The committee wants plans for any type of pro masking signage to be developed and in place by mid-May, just before the summer tourism season begins.
