Water tower’s getting new look

By DEUCE NIVEN

    Tabor City’s mid-town water tower will have a new look soon, with members of the Town Council recently approving a new logo for the aerial structure.
    Council gave the proposal from Promotions Director Dianne B. Ward a cool reception earlier this year, but warmed up to the idea when members Miona Fonvielle and Nelson Lee joined Ward on a committee to look through additional designs.
    “We had about 20 designs,” Ward told council on April 8. “They came up with a design that they liked.”
    Unlike the first design presented to council, which contained drawing of sweet potatoes, the winning concept contains lettering only, just six words:
    Tabor City
    North Carolina
    Yam Festival
