Augusta Sign Company Makes Spirited Banner for Waynesboro High School Cross Country State Finals Meet in NOVA

www.augustasigncompany.com-waynesboro-va-school-signs-banners-22980-24401-22801-22906The Waynesboro Little Giants men’s track team advanced to the Virginia State Finals earlier last month and Augusta Sign Company provided a rally call with a banner touting the school’s colors and official logo.

Even though WHS did not win the finals, they gave it their best shot and their families and fellow townspeople were proud.

I received a very nice letter from a grandparent, complete with cool pictures from the event; one of which featured my 2′ X 10′ hand-painted banner. I learned the art of hand painting signs back in 1980 when I was an apprentice signpainter at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda.

After my initial training and practice there I was transferred to Andrews Air Force base where I served as a journeyman sign painter for 3 years, painting signs, insignias, billboards, water towers, helipads, vehicles, airplanes, streets, parking garages, charts and displays, (basically just about anything!!) all over the large base. It was fun to apply mywww.augustasigncompany.com-waynesboro-va-banner-makers-22980 God-given and self-developed talent to help out a new emerging talented generation for Waynesboro and Augusta County!

Go Little Giants!!!

Who Makes Signs in Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County?

Who makes signs in Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta County? I do: Augusta Sign Company that is.

I, Mark Hackley, founded Tree Street Signs in 1990, two years after settling in Waynesboro, Virginia. Beginning in my home on Pine Avenue and then gradually growing into shops on Charlotte Avenue, followed by a larger one in Crimora, I steadily increased the business from one customer to over a thousand in ten years.

The small business grew so fast that I could hardly keep up with the orders! It was a true blessing, but I had a hard time managing it all. Giving into all the stress of starting up a new business, and then taking it to new levels, I sold the company to the Wilcoxen family in 2000. The new owners soon moved the business from Crimora to Stuarts Draft; then tragedy struck twice and both owners passed away, leaving the business an empty shell and ghostly reminder of days gone by when customers were helped and new sign identities were fabricated and installed all around Augusta County. Tree Street Signs had been in business for 19 years and I was sad that it died out.

After I sold the sign company, I went into sales and marketing within the sign industry and with a non-profit organization that helped hungry people. I always dreamed of getting back into the sign business on my own again, but to tell the truth, I was a little scared to start over. But then, little stepping-stone miracles happened, and now I’m back in business again full-time, fifteen years later.

Who Makes Bronze Plaques in Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County?

Who makes bronze plaques in Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta County? I do: Augusta Sign Company that is.

I, Mark Hackley, founded Tree Street Signs in 1990, two years after settling in Waynesboro, Virginia. Fifteen years after selling the sign company in 2000, I am once again back in business!

One of the things I did well then and now, is designing and installing custom plaques.

Back in the 1990’s I made plaques for many people, including the Waynesboro Airport, the Waynesboro Public Library, along with many area churches, schools and non-profit organizations across Augusta County. The neat thing about making plaques is in the design and selection of materials to use to honor the person, or people involved. There are many choices to consider for long-lasting plaques:

  • Solid Cast Bronze
  • Solid Cast Aluminum
  • Plate Metals
  • Porcelain Enamel
  • Hardwoods
  • Gold Leaf

The plaques I made in the 1990’s are still around, quietly boasting the efforts and achievements of the greats around Augusta County, Virginia. If you or your organization needs help with selecting the right plaque for your special person or occasion, please contact us anytime.
