We put 25 of these out for Freedom Fest. So far, we have 14 accounted for. Several were missing when deputies picked up at the end of the night.

If you picked some up for us or thought they were souvenirs please return them to Warsaw City Hall so we can have them for future events. These were nicer signs and definitely were not cheap.

Thanks,
Chief Deputy Smith
