The official ribbon cutting of the Mathews LOVEworks sign will be held from 1-2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, at the Liberty Square location.
The dedication ceremony was originally scheduled for April, but had to be postponed.
About the sign
Designed by Amanda Robinson, daughter of Mathews residents Tom and Dale Robinson, the LOVEworks sign uses images of items that are typical of life in Mathews to form each letter of the word LOVE, including the lighthouse and island for the L, an oyster for the O, a crab with outstretched claws for the V, and kayaks for the E. It is six feet tall and made of durable and weatherproof material.
The sign was approved by the Mathews Board of Supervisors in 2018, said Lori Dusenberry, president of the Mathews LOVEworks Project Committee. Dusenberry said she hopes people come out to recognize some of the big donors and volunteers who made this project possible.
“It has been quite a journey and a lot of ups and downs to get this thing accomplished,” she said.
