When a local airport was looking for additional ways to promote to their community, a digital sign was the solution of choice and Bismarck Sign Company was there to help. Justin and Matt sat down with Wayne Munson, owner of Bismarck Sign Company, to hear the details of how they stayed the course to help their customer bring the new sign to life at Executive Air.
