Volunteers Give Facelift

Several volunteers showed up to work on painting parts of the Bailey's entrance on Victoria Day weekend. This was in preparation for the 'Light Up The Bailey' event during Jaywalkers Jamboree June 4th & 5th that the fund raising committee has orchestrated. Shown here is a shot of one of the doors painted its original colour which enhances the unique curved detail. You don't see many like this around these days but you will when you visit the Bailey in downtown Camrose Alberta.

Easy Does It

This shot shows the expertise that went with placing the historic Bailey Theatre's new canopy. Lots of onlookers enjoyed the precision of this undertaking. The original canopy and marquee were originally built in the early 1930's.

New Marquee For The Bailey

An exciting day in downtown Camrose saw another huge crane put the Bailey Theatre's new canopy into place. The canopy was built and installed by Blanchett Neon of Edmonton, who took great delight in this project because there isn't much call for working on historic signs anymore. Windwood Signs of Camrose did a mighty fine job of the lettering. There will be an unveiling of the new facade close to or during Jaywalkers Jamboree weekend, which will be held June 4 & 5. Watch for it and enjoy the new look on Main Street.
