Visit Central Oregon’s $25K gift to provide Museum at Warm Springs with new Hwy. 26 signs
WARM SPRINGS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A generous $25,000 gift from Visit Central Oregon will provide the Museum at Warm Springs with new signs on Highway 26, the major east-west highway that runs through the town of Warm Springs. The signs, which will feature the Museum’s new logo, will draw attention to east and west bound travelers and encourage them to visit the Museum, officials said Thursday.
“We are thrilled about this gift from Visit Central Oregon, which will enable us to step up our marketing efforts and bring more visitors to the Museum,” says Museum Executive Director Elizabeth A. Woody (Warm Springs, Yakama and Navajo). “Look for the new signs soon!”
"Central Oregon is fortunate to be the home of such rich cultural heritage, including The Museum at Warm Springs,” says Julia Theisen, president and CEO, Visit Central Oregon. “We appreciate this opportunity to support the Museum's new signage, designed to enhance their visibility to the countless vehicles that pass by their location on a daily basis. The signage will create an opportunity for more visitors to experience the Museum as they travel to and from Central Oregon."
