Blast from the Past #137: Ninja Turtles day in Los Angeles

Here's a curious artifact from 1993 -- a proclamation announcing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Day" in Los Angeles, California. Apparently, this was in conjunction with a benefit showing of the third Turtles movie. Does anyone from the LA area remember this? -- PL

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Day in L.A., 1993

I stumbled upon this curious artifact while going through some stuff in my office at Mirage yesterday. It's an official-looking proclamation for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Day" in Los Angeles, California, in 1993 -- March 19, to be precise. It's even signed by then-mayor Tom Bradley.



I don't really remember much about this, but from reading the proclamation I gather that it was something done in connection with a special world premiere screening on March 6, 1993 of the third live-action Turtles movie, the proceeds from which were to benefit several different charities. -- PL
