This is great in California, but I'm not sure how well the signs would hold up in the rain.

Actually they hold up remarkably well. I've had signs in Portland and Seattle, where it rains all the time, stay up for months and look just fine. Amazed me myself.

Cardboard, with just a thin coat of latex, is practically a miracle canvas for this sort of thing.
