Council opens design contest for new Trapper Creek sign

As revenue share money starts flowing into upper Susitna valley communities, projects are getting the green light to go into the next phase.The Trapper Creek community council voted on spending part of their state revenue share money on signs that let motorists know that they are entering or leaving the Trapper Creek area.

Trapper Creek is currently asking its residents to participate in a design contest for signs to be put up at the south and north of Trapper Creek along the Parks Highway.

Trapper Creek Community council president Virginia Dalton-Pollo said that the artwork is meant for an eight-foot by four-foot sign. Trapper Creek residents participating in the contest should submit their entries by March 5 to Jenny Earles at the Trapper Creek library.

A council committee will then select four finalists and they will be announced at the Cabin Fever Reliever event on March 12. Trapper Creek residents can then vote on the final design.
