Lamp post sign
 
Was wondering if there is a local outlet in the Villages for ordering a lamp post sign. Or is there a company that is authorized by The Villages that they prefer you to use? Thanks!

There is no Villages preferred sign. If I were buying a sign, I would order it from Amazon. Way cheaper than a local vendor.

I do not remember the price but bought our from Signs by Jackie. We did want it engraved with something specific for our house.

We got ours from Signs by Jackie at one of the market nights some time ago. There is a 2021 thread on the same topic.

Ours is also a Signs by Jackie product and we are very pleased with the quality.

As I remember Signs by Jackie has been doing signs since Harold Schwartz was a small boy :). They are located off of 301 and I guess market night. Many designs and really good people.

The Villages sales rep who helped us buy our home here gave us a $50 gift card for Signs by Jackie on the day of closing. Most of the "basic" signs were $50, so we picked one of those. Probably would've gone with them anyway because they were the ones mentioned the most.

We used one of the other sign makers. He's typically at "Market Night" @ Brownwood, on the East side of the square. His sample sign have old time televisions couples names on them, ie Fred & Ethel Mertz...

Very happy with his work...

After looking at reviews on Amazon and not being able to visually see them, we bought ours at Ace Hardware by Winn Dixie for $75. Was able to see all available and picked out the one we wanted.

If you want simple you can order one at Burry’s Ace Hardware in Spanish Springs Plaza.
They have all the sample displays and are familiar with the ordering process.
They order from a local vendor.
It only takes a couple of days.

Our sign was from Bob Martin. It’s 13 years old now and looks like new.
