Our 2022 FUNdraising event, obSEUSSed Comedy Cabaret, is taking place on September 24th. We are thrilled to recognize and show appreciation for our three latest amazing sponsors, Seventy-Seven Signs, Ace of Carts and Crossmount Cider Company who each generously stepped up as In-kind LORAX sponsors of our 2022 event!  

Meet Seventy-Seven Signs 

We're often asked, "how did you choose the name - Seventy-Seven Signs?"

Is there a hidden meaning? Well, it was late in 1976 and the company was in its infancy. ‘76 Signs’ didn’t sound right. But ‘77 Signs’ did. They were right, it was better and so it stuck.

40 years ago this decision was made. Throughout the years there have been other important decisions that helped them maintain, grow and meet your needs. Just think for a moment how signs have changed over the last 40 years.

High voltage neon was being used everywhere. Although neon will never be completely replaced, technology has given us LED and it’s here to stay. LED is even replacing fluorescent lighting. At one time they hand-painted each letter on a sign! Now automated equipment prints and cuts all the lettering. One or two colour advertising is no longer standard, full colour printing is being demanded by everyone. Technology is driving live animation on electronic screens in front of businesses, even with time-of-day advertising.

What hasn’t changed is the need for businesses like yours to advertise and maintain brand recognition through an effective sign program. This is their strength. They work with businesses to drive customers to your door. From this, their corporate statement was born:

Signs that Power Business.

Meet Crossmount Cider Company

The Crossmount Cider Company was incorporated in 2014. The first apple tree saplings were planted this same year and the cider press, washers and fermentation tanks were ordered.  Their master cider maker began their quest to produce a variety of excellent apple hard ciders which would appeal to the discerning tastes of Saskatchewanians and beyond. In 2015, the Crossmount Cider Company logo was finalized and the cider press, washers and fermentation tanks were installed. More apple trees were added to the orchards and, since their own trees were too young to produce fruit, they made the first trucking runs to the Okanagan to bring back apples ripe for pressing. By January of 2016, the first batch of juice was in the fermentation tanks and after approximately four months the cider was ready to be bottled.
