Batavia Downs offering pieces of old neon sign to public

By Howard B. Owens

Press release:

With the construction of Batavia Downs Casino’s new LED sign, pieces of the old neon sign are now available to interested parties. Batavia Downs Casino has already given two letters to representatives of the Holland Land Office Museum of Batavia, but other letters still remain.

Interested persons should contact Tom Balk, director of Building and Grounds for information on obtaining remaining pieces. It should be noted that the letters are over 7 feet tall and in various states of disrepair having been on the roof for so long. Mr. Balk can be reached at (585) 343-3750, ext. 312.

I wonder if they can afford some new carpeting for the casino with the proceeds from selling the old neon signs. I was in there for the first time in 9 years since moving here and was not impressed. The place looks filthy..just an observation.
