On behalf of Gaber Signs and Chippewa Falls Main Street, Inc. we would like to thank all of the participants of the 2002 Chippewa Brush Bash!

We had a great turnout of just over 80 painters, friends, family members and helpers. Special thanks to all of our sponsors, both local and national for their participation to make this meet possible.


We were greatful to gain national recognition in the October 2002 MAIN STREET NEWS... they featured an article about the meet and included some full color pictures as well. A great shot in the arm for our small town! Chippewa Falls Main Street was also recognized at the Wisconsin State Main Street Banquet when they were presented  with the Best Public Improvement Award.



For those of you who want to know what a Letterhead is... well let me tell you!

A Letterhead is an individual who is willing to share information about signs, hand lettering, carving, airbrushing, pinstriping, computer graphics and just about anything to do with the sign industry. Together we make up an informal international group that gets together to share our knowledge about the craft in a variety of settings. Whether it's a large outdoor painting project, or a small gathering of a few wood carvers, it's all the same in the end... to learn and distibute our talent amongst those in attendance in the spirit of Letterheads!
