Decorah welcome sign is getting a facelift

Boy Scout Don Spieker promised City of Decorah officials on Monday night that he will make sure the city welcome sign on Montgomery Street will get a new look.  Spieker has agreed to change the landscaping at the welcome sign as his Eagle Scout project.

He will lead a group of Scouts in a work day Tuesday afternoon at the sign. He has also scheduled a second work day on September 18th, at which time volunteers would plant perennials such as daylilies, coneflowers, salvia and asters.  

Spieker says the project could cost up to $650.  He promises to pay for the project through donations.
