A novel outdoor sign apparatus for mounting to a ground surface, e.g. a real estate sign. The outdoor sign apparatus comprises a pair of horizontally spaced footings for a support base, a movable support frame that holds the sign, a plurality of stakes for mounting, and support elements. The support frame is supported by each of the footings and has a first position substantially perpendicular to the footings for display and a second position substantially parallel to the footings for transport. Support elements such as chains (or other similar means such as cables, rigid bars, etc.) connect between the support frame and the footings to selectively hold the support frame vertically upright in the first position. The support elements can be disconnected to release and lower the support frame to the lowered position for transport. The stakes are driven downward into the ground at an outwardly extending angle relative to the vertically upright support frame and sign. To guide the stakes, each of the footings includes outwardly angled stake guides proximate opposite ends of each footing that slidably receive the stakes.
