Sign making vendors in Watson Lake?

Question

We forgot to bring a sign. Are there vendors in Watson Lake that will make a custom sign for the Sign Post Forest? Any sophisticated enough to transfer a JPEG to a sign?Thanks for your help!Jay

The tourist info centre sells slabs of wood suitable for making a sign. They can also provide a hammer and nails. I'm not aware of any sign makers there.We made ours from a slab of firewood, "branded" with our town's name, made around the campfires we had each night on the way to Watson Lake. Here's the guys attaching it to the post in 1997. You can also see the wide variety of signs folks put up.

Here's an image from 1993, again showing the wide variety of signs posted by people.

We didn't see any vendors advertising yesterday when we went through Watson Lake.  You have plenty of material to make a sign.  We saw everything from license plates, pieces of wood, frying pans, cookie sheets, and everything else you could imagine to include a bed pan!  Use your imagination and you will be just fine!Can't comment on the movie.  We missed it again this year.  Showed up for the advertised 6:30 showing and didn't find out until this afernoon they only had one showing yesterday and it was at 3:00pm!  They say to call 536-star for movie scheduling.  I don't have a clue about area or country codes.  That's all they had on their marquee.

We just drove over and went in to see the movie. With our Verizon and $15/mth Canadian access with Telus it's just like the US, same minutes etc, no country code. It's like transparent phone service. :BBuy you do need the area code which I'd bet a dounut is the same as any other phone in WL and 2 donuts that it's the same in all of Yukon.
