MEDINA – The Medina Area Partnership on Wednesday unveiled a new cutout standup board with a historical theme. The new standup board was painted by artist Brandi Zavitz.

MAP has the display next to the Hemp House at 409 Main St. The new artwork allows two people to poke their faces in cutouts and appear like a Victorian couple on a walk with their cute little dog. The Erie Canal Basin is in the background.

Kathy Blackburn, one of the MAP leaders, said the effort gives people another activity while they are in Medina. The display is expected to be out until after Christmas.

The MAP events’ committee would like to have another cutout standup sign in the future.
