Venice Fest., Sunday, June 24, 2007
June 13, 2007
Dear friends,
Over a year ago we did a special benefit concert at the
old, empty, Pioneer Bakery in Venice.
The proceeds went to building a new "VENICE" lighted
trestle sign that will span the buildings and hang over
Windward Avenue in Venice beach.
This sign will replicate the original sign that used to
hang there back in the beginning days of the city of
Venice.
You can see a picture of the original sign on the cover of
our "Born and Raised" CD.
Well now the light trestle is finished and they are having
a day of celebration on Sunday, June 24, when they will
officially hang and light the sign.
It's also the 100th anniversary of the Venice Chamber of
Commerce.
The "Venice Fest" will run from 12 noon until 9pm on
Sunday, the 24th on Windward Ave. (Between Pacific Ave.
and the Speedway (Boardwalk.))
There will be music and craft booths, bouncies, petting
zoo, face painting, etc., throughout the day and then
VENICE, the band, will headline the festival and will play
up until the official lighting of the trestle sign at dusk.
Mayor Antonio Villairegosa and council member Bill
Rosendahl will also be there for the lighting ceremony.
As you might guess, this will be a landmark day for the
city of Venice but also for the band and the Lennon Family
that came here back in 1917.
The festival is FREE!

minutes.
Hope to see you there....bring your video and still cameras
to capture this historic day.
See you soon,
Michael - Venice
