As many of you know, I am a huge fan of the Uranus Fudge Factory in St Robert, Missouri. I have written about their huge tourist attraction in two of my books. Well, as Mayor Louie lies to exclaim "Uranus is Expanding!" And indeed it is! On April 1 they will be celebrating the GRAND OPENING of their new Uranus #2 off of Interstate 69 (exit 222) in Anderson, Indiana (a tad NE of Indianapolis). See their Facebook Page. I am excited to announce today that I will be at the Grand Opening in Indiana from 11 AM to 2 PM to sign four of my five books, all of which are for sale at BOTH Uranus Fudge Factory locations.

I have fallen way behind on my A to Z posts this year due to added work and travel, but I will get them all! This year I am doing signs that I have seen across the country. This post will feature signs associated with the Letter U. ENJOY THE RIDE! We can't avoid signs. They are everywhere. Advertisements, informational signs, directional signs, business signs and, sometimes, even humorous and fun signs. Each of my posts in this years' challenge will feature a hodgepodge of signs I have come across in my travels. In most cases, I'll also note where they were taken. Some were actually inside of shops or otherwise, so not all will have locations. I hope you enjoy the remainder of my posts as get to them…

[caption id="attachment_30318" align="alignleft" width="300"] Mapleton Taxidermy & Cheese Store - Mapleton, Ontario[/caption] As I travel across the US and Canada, I obviously run into a variety of signs. Some are just informational, but others are very unique. My theme for the 2021 AtoZ Challenge is going to be signs. I'll present fun pictures and commentary on the many signs I run across. Some posts may have four or five and others just one. But, rest assured, you will see some fun signs along the way.
