News and Notes from
Park River Area School
mittee has been working to reno-
vate and update the theater, which
was originally opened on July 8,
1915.
When working toward the orig-
inal goal of $100,000 for digital
equipment and much needed ren-
ovations, the committee found
that every tittle bit helped. Through
grants, donations, fundraising
events of bingo and silent auctions,
and even popcorn sales at street
dances, the committee achieved
their goal of converting to a digi-
tal projector, however there still is
more work to be done.
There currently are plans in
place to update the southeast hall-
way fire exit and repair the valance
above the screen in early Decem-
ber as well as finish the front
fa?ade next spring when the
weather is warmer.
Theater information can be
found on the City of Park River
website as well as Facebook.com
on the Lyric Theatre - Park River
page.
