Landers now has an official slogan. Reporter and Landers honorary Mayor Mike Lipsitz tells about the process and the winner…
The results of Landers’ Slogan Contest are in. On Saturday residents poured over the 78 entries to come up with a winner. Out is “Landers: Land of Endless Vistas,” and in is “Landers: Beautiful Skies; Miles of Smiles” by Ms. McCall’s combined second and third grade class at Landers Elementary. It narrowly beat out the second place entry of “Landers: Weird, But in a Good Way.” So now, “Beautiful Skies, Miles of Smiles” will be added to the Landers sign at the Post Office and at other Landers locations. The contest was sponsored by the Landers Association which also voted to update the current sign’s population figure from the hopeful 10,000, to the more accurate, census-based figure of 2,667 persons.
