The full video that highlights the history of neon and demonstrates how neon signs are crafted can be seen at Ignite in the neon area.
Film created by Chuck & Kathryn Penson.

​Installed this cute CVS neon sign on the corner of the sign yard. This sign came from the CVS location at Campbell and University Avenue. It is neon. This may be a sign created specifically for that location, so we don't know if there are others like it.

We have been busy during the Covid -19 pandemic adding new displays.

Jude is getting all the rusted sockets loosened up. This amazingly long arrow came to us from Safford, Arizona.
It has a cool Time-o-matic flasher on the end of the arrow, that will make all the light bulbs flash.

Installing the National Auto Glass Sign that once lit up a building at 2418 N. Stone. Came down due to change in owner ship.

​Grill Restaurant sign once at 100 E. Congress comes to Ignite Museum.  It was a downtown restaurant that opened in the 1940's and closed in 2011. Previous restaurants at that location included, the Stag Grill and Minerva Café. The sign once restored, will again sport neon and light bulbs. Would you believe the sign was found at a bordello in Calexico? Stay tuned for updates.

​      This Denny's Diner sign is a recent acquisition of the Museum. A base was
built, followed by a cleaning, re-wiring with
the addition of a new transformer. Then the
neon was bent and installed. Totally awesome sign!
