Digs could clutter the Santa House with their sign, since they are responsible for that. Rick Pavek could clutter that area also, since they are responsible for moving and removing the Santa House. Joe/The Rueb could clutter that area as well, since they are responsible for the fresh paint on the Santa House (and removal of the graffiti). Every Christmas tree that has been donated has come with a sign. Lee Lansing (and sign) donated one for years. The walk bridge was cluttered with beautiful luminaries donated by Norm Butler. So, I see your point. We will continue to ask for those donations next year, but keep the 'clutter' to a minimum. Or...another option would be no clutter at all.
