MALONE, N.Y. (AP) — A graphic goof on signs welcoming travelers has this upstate community

MALONE, N.Y. (AP) — A graphic goof on signs welcoming travelers has this upstate community facing an identity crisis.

That’s because the “Welcome to Malone” signs feature a bucolic image of the New England countryside, not northern New York.

Town supervisor Howard Maneely said a Vermont resident who was passing through happened to recognize the Green Mountain State’s scenery on the signs and alerted Malone officials.

Maneely said the image — a scene of red barns, rolling hills and fall foliage — was actually from a photograph taken at the Jenne Farm outside Woodstock, Vt.

The image was chosen by a committee after a contest that included local schoolchildren and arts groups. It’s not clear how the photo,slipped into the competition.
