CITYFEST FROM PAGE 12 CITYFEST at work on selecting its con-
tractor, SignTech, and supervising the revitalization process. A key decision that the committee made was selecting LED lights to frame the letters that spell out “Hill- crest” on the sign. These lights will surely astound you with their eco-friendly bright illumination. “The committee talked a lot about whether to go with neon or new green tech LED” Cecelia said “After our discussion we just knew that the green option was the Hillcrest option.”
As it celebrates its 90th an-
niversary the HBA it is pleased to announce the timely news about the Hillcrest Sign and the won- derful expansions that CityFest has taken over the years. This year the heart of Hillcrest will transform. A waterslide, a Time Warp flash mob, larger than life competitive games, a rocking mu- sic line up all day long, a gigantic beer garden, three food courts, and over 200 individually selected arts and crafts vendors will help honor the HBA’s 90th anniversary as well as the 2011 sign revitaliza- tion project.
Join us at 8 p.m. for the offi-
cial Hillcrest sign lighting ceremo- ny. We invite you to witness this historic event when once again the Hillcrest sign will shine, in all of its beautiful neon glory. The HBA would like to thank
it’s Board of Directors for its com- mitment to the business district, HillQuest and the Hillcrest His- tory Guild for providing the lush history made available for this article, and the CityFest sponsors that allow this festival to thrive: Three Olives, Coors Light, The Commission for Arts and Culture, Comerica Bank, Gay San Diego, HillQuest, Discover SD, SanDi-
