The Historical Society and Sparklight would like to thank Union State Bank and Glitz and Glamour once again, for graciously allowing our beautiful Pell City Historic Downtown Mural to be painted on the side of their building 🎨

We are truly grateful for their partnership and commitment to helping bring downtown history back to life.

Glitz and Glamour is a locally owned boutique by Pam and Steve Everidge in the heart of Pell City. Since 1998, they have offered an extensive and exceptional selection of formal wear, tuxedo, prom, party, gala, homecoming and pageant dresses. Over 1,000 dresses in store. Their personalized, stress free shopping experience, paired with a wide variety of stunning styles and colors, ensures every customer feels confident and beautiful before they leave the store.

Their jewelry collection is second to none.
From rhinestone chandeliers that frame your smile, to glittering bracelets that catch the dance floor lights, to statement necklaces worthy of a crown, each accessory is chosen to make you shine brighter.

The completion of our historic downtown mural has been a remarkable achievement, and we are deeply grateful to the talented artists, Sundi Hawkins and Penny Arnold, whose creativity and hard work brought this project to life.

Through their artistry, they painted a vibrant tribute to our community’s rich heritage, capturing the spirit of historic buildings and treasured landmarks that have helped shape our city throughout the years.

We invite everyone to visit the mural at 2007 Cogswell Ave, the Glitz and Glamour Store. Experience it for yourself up close, and take time to view the historic landmarks that are featured throughout the artwork.
