"Luckily, that is only a digital mock-up," Mayor Debby Burgoyne said.

The real wooden signs have not been produced or installed.

A digital mock-up sent to the council by the sign manufacturer left out the V in Burkittsville , Burgoyne said.

The signs are to have a blue background and white lettering that states, "Welcome to the historic village of Burkittsville , established 1824."

Cost for design and installation of the new signs is about $3,000. Burgoyne hopes the signs will be up in time to decorate them for Christmas.

"They will be spelled correctly," she said.
