Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on Friday, January 30, 2015

Drive down Cable Road or Elida Road and what might appear to be a billboard on fire is actually a fresh, steaming cup of coffee — or at least appears to be.

Local McDonald’s franchise, Lewis Family McDonald’s, has recently introduced a new “Free Coffee Mondays” promotion. This limited time promotion offers guests a free small premium roast coffee every Monday with no purchase necessary.

To raise awareness, McDonald’s put up two extended billboards, one on Cable, and one on Elida, with steam rising from the cup of coffee. Travelers were quick to notice the billboards, and at a glance, thought they were on fire, causing them to quickly call the fire department.

A major goal of the Village’s water department is to be able to obtain an actual reading of water meter usage each and every month. Using an actual read each month helps both the consumer and the Village better budget and track water usage.
