On the evening of the fourth of July, look for a brighter G Avenue with the official lighting of the Grand Theatre’s outdoor sign. The Douglas Arts and Humanities Association, a non-profit, all volunteer group dedicated to the renovation of the historic, downtown Grand Theatre, announces the official lighting of the Grand’s outdoor sign on the evening of the 4th of July.
Bruce Endres, Theatre Manager, who oversees the renovation project, will turn the switch on around 8 p.m. the evening of the fourth. A successful test run of the sign lighting took place during June’s monthly meeting, with member and local resident Dottie Loney flipping on the switch. “Most people drive by the theatre and don’t realize that the big, blue Grand sign is new because it has been renovated to the exact specifications of the old sign, but it is brand new and works,” said Endres. “We have successfully completed a great amount of work and have posted a ‘to do list’ on the outside of the theatre so the public is aware where their contributions are going.”
The Association is also holding its annual Raffle right after the downtown 4th of July Parade. The winner will be announced on KDAP radio and will be posted on their website
