Mills 50 banners brand the district!

You will begin seeing dozens of multi colored banners along Mills Avenue and Colonial Drive.  These “branding” banners, designed by Say It Loud and fabricated by Triangle Reprographics, are a beautification project of the Mills 50 Design Committee.   The installation is the culmination of months of hard work by a lot of dedicated people.  Many thanks to the Mills 50 Design Committee, the City of Orlando, Orlando Utilities Commission and the Florida Department of Transportation for making this happen!

Drive with a Purpose!

You are invited to the kick-off of the 2012 Ford Focus Drive with a Purpose Tour benefiting the Parramore Kidz Zone.
