Dedication
The evening started with a welcome and dedication ceremony. We learned that Casa Grande was one of 25 cities nationwide to compete in an online voting competition. They won 2nd place earning a grant for $144,000. The grand paid for 14 vintage neon signs and the landscaping for the park.

What is your favorite neon sign that you have seen?
What a fun idea!
We agree! The city did a great job with the concept.
What a cool concept! Is there a fee to get in to see these signs?
It is a free park. No fee. Go and enjoy.
Love nostalgia!
It was fun reading the history of each sign.
I have never heard of this before. It is pretty cool. I need to see if we have anything around here like this.
Yes, and then let me know where it is if you find one.
I love the The Strip in Vegas with all the neon hotels. My fave is the Moulin Rouge in Paris though. The neon windmill is really neat.
Those are great signs too. I have seen the signs in Las Vegas. I have not seen the sign (in person) for the one in Paris.
What a fun novelty place to visit!
It is a fun place. The benches are neat too.
OH! This is on my list of stuff to do!!! I think it’s so cool!
You will have a wonderful time.
This looks like so much fun! I would love to see it for myself one day.
You will enjoy it.
Love it. Have you been to the Neon Graveyard in Las Vegas? Same kind of concept. I haven’t been to the one in AZ but have been to the one in Vegas.
We have not been to the Neon Graveyard in Las Vegas. I am excited to check it out. Thanks.
Well that’s different. It looks really cool!
Different is what attracted us to the event. People are creative.
I don’t know why but this reminds me of Pixar 😀 I love Pixar.
Now that you mentioned it, I can see that too. 🙂
I love all the neon signs in Las Vegas. Some of them are very iconic like the Cowboy. Thanks for sharing this cool experience.
Yes, the neon signs in Las Vegas are amazing.
Who knew there would be a park dedicated to Neon Signs? So Fun!
It was very interesting and taking photos at night was really fun.
I love finding unique places like this!!
Yes, us too.
I drive to Arizona to visit my dad all the time, I am going to have to detour next time and check this out!
Wonderful, you will enjoy the park.
Wow what an interesting event! The neon sign park is cool!
It was a new type of park for us to visit.
What a fun place to visit. I love the neon signs. I also visited the Neon Museum in Vegas which has a lot of the old signs that were “retired” when hotels were demolished. It was very cool too!
The Las Vegas museum sounds awesome. I look forward to checking it out.
What fun. Definitely worth the road trip.
It is a nice stop on a road trip.
