Mathews County’s first official Virginia Tourism LOVEworks sign at Liberty Square will be dedicated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, April 19, from 1-2 p.m.
About the sign
Designed by Amanda Robinson, daughter of Mathews residents Tom and Dale Robinson, the LOVEworks sign uses images of items that are typical of life in Mathews to form each letter of the word LOVE, including the lighthouse and island for the L, an oyster for the O, a crab with outstretched claws for the V, and kayaks for the letter E. It is six feet tall and made of durable and weatherproof material.

“It has been quite a journey and a lot of ups and downs to get this thing accomplished,” she said.
