The refurbished “wise owl” sign made its way back to the corner of Main Street and Old Highway 75. The sign was put in place Thursday morning, May 7. Three years ago, Sabetha’s Chamber of Commerce Director Gina Murchison located the sign at Albany, and the chamber started raising the funds to refurbish the sign. The original sign was installed at the same intersection on July 13, 1960, at the cost of $3,400. The sign remained at the intersection for 28 years until it was taken down – due to its condition – in October 1988. At that time, a new sign was put in its place. To date, the chamber raised $15,000 for the sign. These funds paid for the sign to be refurbished as well as maintained for the future.
