Small Gathering at The Dixie Theater

Monday night I sponsored a small gathering at The Dixie Theater here in Staunton.
You have seen me post events for The Dixie Theater, Staunton Performing Arts and PAC'n
the Streets in the past. All these posts have been about raising awareness and the vision of
opening the theater back to it's glory. This was a small group of people that I know that would
be great to come and listen to Pam and Thom Wagner, new to Staunton and film directors, see turtlerockprods.com for more on Pam and Thom, talk to a group of about ten people, music and theater people and their friend along with store owners on Beverley Street
about their vision for the theater and the adjoining building, The Arcadia Building. I spent Sunday
and Monday putting together a menu, old school finger food, and loaded my car to drive maybe
10 blocks to the theater.

  Flowers riding shot gun in the car, the theater has been closed up for some time and
is a little musty. The lilies will mask that.

Beverages in coolers and iced down and on their way.

A tray of food trays and bowls ride in the back seat on their way to the event.

Setting up an inviting spread for the people attending this event, sorry that I left the plastic
wrap on. Healthy finger food with flowers, candles and a table cloth. Not shown are the
wines and other beverages.

 This is a side shot of The Dixie Theater, i wanted to have the event here because of
the presence of this building dating back to 1913.

 Setting up the event for the speakers and a glimpse of the old Art Deco light fixtures. This
is one project that is dear to my heart. To follow the progress of this project, go to the Facebook
