A New Sign in Apalachin
The Apalachin Lions Club has voluntarily conducted annual maintenance of a small parcel of state-owned land on both sides of West Main Street in Apalachin where it intersects State Route 434. This area has been affectionately named “Lions Park” for many years. Several decades ago, the Apalachin Lions Club installed a four-feet by eight-feet wooden sign with the lettering “APALACHIN NEW YORK.” In July 2021, strong winds broke

the sign apart and the club began investigating the cost and availability of a weatherproof replacement. This November, the Lions were pleased to secure a new sign for travelers and pedestrians to enjoy once again. The Apalachin Lions takes great pride in reestablishing an informal gateway to our beloved community. A special thanks to Lion Paul Huonker and Lion Leigh Ericson for their work on this project.
