Entertainment At Recent Unveiling

Some preamble to the Bailey's facade unveiling included this lovely tap dancer who entertained the surrounding crowd who waited patiently for the dropping of the Tyvek cover. About Time Productions presented a program of song and dance on stage in front of Bailey's next door neighbour, Martha's Music.

Usherette Extraordinaire!

A little nostalgia was presented by usherette extraordinaire Patricia Fielding at the recent unveiling of the Bailey Theatre's new facade during Jaywalkers Jamboree, June 4th & 5th in downtown Camrose. As you can see behind Patricia, a booth was set up to sell Light Up The Bailey T-Shirts in front of the Bailey, which was both lucrative and great fun. Patricia had a large crew of volunteers on hand to help with this fund raising event, which was a great success. Thanks to Patricia and her wonderful volunteers!

Much Excitement !

There was much excitement in downtown Camrose on June 4th when the front of the Bailey was finally unveiled, revealing the impressive facade and marquee complete with glistening black glass frontage. This picture shows Bailey's Architectural adviser David Roth in the foreground, just after the Teyvek was removed in front of a crowd of onlookers. Many visitors (actually over 2,000) went through the Bailey Theatre on 'sneak a peak' tours during Jaywalkers Jamboree. A host of volunteers answered questions during the 2-day Jaywalkers event, along with selling Light Up The Bailey T-Shirts, the latest fund raising initiative. The event was a huge success in raising funds as well as increasing public awareness about the Bailey restoration project. Many thanks to all those who participated in the Bailey's fund raising activities and to the enthusiastic, tireless volunteers. Well done!!!
