LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Saturday’s weather forecast called for rain, rain and more rain, but for a couple of guys to be working outside, Saturday’s weather was great. 

Saturday’s off and on rainy day, otherwise relatively calm, was ideal for the sign project.

Elliott is in the sign business, and Saturday’s weather, with the perfect temps and no wind blowing the templet around or the dust from boring the anchor holes, made putting up the signage that much easier. After that, it was just a matter of placing the letters.

The project quickly took shape.

After 26 years in the business, Elliott said, “he had work in all kinds of weather.” Alex has seen his fair share too in his 13 years. 

The building is on First Street at Aspen Street in Lafollette next to LUB.

After the sign goes up, all that’s left is the clean up and then stand back and admire your work.

Next to LUB

I think Ann and Nick (Thompson, business and building owners) will be pleased. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-04/28/2026-6AM)
