The SECOND PHASE of the project is to raise $50,000 for a state-of-the-art audio/video system to show family movies (anytime, day or night), book theatrical events and other performances or personal or business activities. This was in the original project budget, but was removed due to the increased cost of the footings due to the poor soil conditions at the city chosen site.
As of April 1, 2026, 40% of that effort has been completed. Thanks to these new donations:
- $10,000 – Den and Sandy Gardner (Gardner & Gardner Communications)
- $5,000 – Simon and Sarah Kallal
- $5,000 – Jerry and Mary Walerius
Please consider making a donation for this effort. We would like to have this system in place in the spring of 2027.
