SACRAMENTO,
CA – The late Hewell Howser would be jumping for joy had he witnessed the
placement of Disney’s California Adventure letters at the Cal Expo main
entrance. The letters
C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A will grace the 160th Annual State Fair entrance,
greeting the hundreds of thousands who will walk through them beginning July
12, 2013, when the State Fair opens its 14-day run.
Each
letter stands 11 feet and 8 inches tall and, depending on the letter, they
weigh between 5,000 and 13,000 pounds.
Oh? No, the “O” is the heaviest
weighing in at a mere 12,914 pounds, while the “I” is the lightest, weighing
only 5,191 pounds. Those are some very big letters!
Everyone
is invited to see and enjoy these colossal letters, day or night, since they
will be lit, thanks to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which donated
the commercial grade, energy efficient LED lighting. The letters were contributed by Disney to the
Friends of the California State Fair and their mounting sponsored by the Golden
1 Credit Union.
