Can someone please suggest a store in the Laconia/Meredith area where I can get a Thin Ice sign?

Heath Hardware in Center Harbor has them every year. Call first because they usually sell out.

I bought a "THIN ICE" sign at True Value in Center Harbor. When I bought it the man at the store told me that I would have to brace it or it would break. He was right! I added metal strips to the sides but it was not enough. This year I will take his advice and screw it to a 1/4" piece of plywood for support.

It's a good sign and will last for years with this addition but for $40 I think that you should not have to redisign the thing.

I think I'm going to go buy one for decoration in my home office. It will go along nicely with my snowmobiling and lake pictures.

If you've got the time, I'd suggest you build your own thin ice signs. I made mine last year out of plywood and a few coats of paint. The specs are on the NH saftey web site. Call me cheap, but I couldn't see spending that kind of money for flimsy signs that I'd have to brace anyway.
