HANNIBAL, NY – Hannibal Boy Scout Troop 780 dedicated the new Welcome sign in Hannibal on Memorial Day.

Life Scout Nate LaRock constructed the sign as his Eagle project.

The sign is located on land owned by Dick Patane in front of Freedom real estate.

Nate worked with Hannibal town supervisor Ron Greenleaf, Jack and Faye Beckwith and Patane for location of the sign.

Planning and construction of the sign took approximately 14 months.
