HOUSTON - Want to see your name in lights? That's their specialty at Sparkle Sign Company, Inc. The Houston-based company has been in business for nearly 30 years, producing everything from neon bar signs, to LED signs that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hailey Frances toured the facility on Wednesday, where they gave her the star treatment.

OK....I must have missed the neon part because I was so captivated by the vibrant personality of the owner LOL

Hey but the reporter was nice to look at

Did they even talk about neon signs? Joe, take your hands out of your pockets. You're on national TV.

I think he probably did show her neon but I think everything was edited bad, that chick was just bopping around unable to keep still. I think he wanted to get technical and she kept cutting him off, poor guy. It seems like he wanted to show here a lot more but she wouldn't just, SHUT UP!

Damn Fraggles!

That was one bad ass CNC though!

Poor Joe
