Red Lion Neon & YMCA Golf Outing Fun

It has been an eventful week here at Swift Printing. We had our unveiling of our big community project - the resurrection of The Red Lion Vintage Neon. Thank you so much to those of you that came to support our big event. It was great hearing your stories about the Red Lion and catching up. If you didn’t make the event please check out these news stories our friends at WOODtv, Fox17, Mlive & Mondo Neon ran about this 2021 ArtPrize Entry. Be sure to come to Bridge Street in the early morning hours or in the evening to see the Red Lion Vintage Neon all lit up. If you take a photo and put it online please use the hashtag #redliongr so we can see them!

The sign is the pinnacle of our ArtPrize entry, but also if you walk along Bridge Street in our front office the windows are filled with facts about the history of neon, Bridge Street and Red Lion history, the restoration process, and there is even memorabilia from the old Red Lion Restaurant.

Please consider picking The Red Lion Vintage Neon #71133 if you are playing the ArtPrize game and find any prizes. For more info on the Red Lion Neon click here.

Also, September 20 we finally got to enjoy the beautiful Blythefield Country Club Golf Course for the Walt Gutowski Sr. Driving to Achieve Golf Outing. Swift was the title sponsor again this year and the event benefitted the YMCA’s young achievers. We love the Y and can’t think of an organization that is more diverse and deserving.

Take at look at these photos from the fun event at Blythefield County Club.

Thank you to our amazing customers and team members that allow us to be able to give to our community.

Lastly, did I mention we started a walk up COPY CENTER!? Now you can pop in and get copies on the fly while you wait. Be sure to check us out! More info here.
