Now fully adorned in neon and resplendent in rich new colors, the Park Theater sign adorns Walden&#8217;s Main Street, which is the site of highly visible improvements taking place throughout the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Originally opened in 1946, the Park Theater ran two shows per night during its prime. For decades, the centrally located movie house was a gathering place for residents throughout Jackson County, Colorado.\u00a0 In 1982, the theater ceased operation and its original sign fell into an advanced state of disrepair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To document and examine the sign\u2019s former condition, YESCO\u2019s service team completed a thorough site survey. YESCO then removed and replaced transformers and wiring, re-skinned the dented and damaged face of the sign with new metal cladding, updated the flanking on informational reader boards and created horizontal wings to extend the sign&#8217;s reach across the facade for a more dramatic impact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An important feat of \u201cre-imagination\u201d took place during the design phase as YESCO\u2019s Denver creative director Herm Medina used a serifed Tuscan typeface for the new lettering, lending a fresh, yet period-themed, Western character to the project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe newly refurbished sign will deliver significant economic benefits to our customer,\u201d said Stephen E. Young, senior vice president of YESCO Sign &amp; Lighting. \u201cWith the improved aesthetic, the Park Theater marquee is now certain to catch the eyes of visitors walking along Walden\u2019s Main Street.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click Here For Downloadable, High-Res Photos YESCO announces the rehabilitation of the Park Theater&#8217;s vintage marquee located in the historic town of Walden, Colorado.
