New Venue Announced for 9th Annual SlideShow - Saturday, October 22, 2011

This year will be the 9th Annual Autumn Leaf Slideshow and Railfan Weekend - we are excited to announce our location at a new venue - The Fox Theater in Centralia, WA. A change in policy at the Olympic Club has prevented further weekend use of the theater at that site so we went looking for a new home.

The Fox Theater is located one block south of the Olympic Club site and has been a longtime member of the Centralia downtown corridor. Opening in 1930, the Fox Theater was in full swing until the late 1990's. Historic Fox Theatre Restorations, based in Centralia, Washington, is a nonprofit organization with the goal to restore the theater back to its glorious 1930 appearance. As it is a work in progress, we are looking at a long term home for the show and can be a part of this restoration. The 270 seat theater with a grand 34'x24' silver screen will be a perfect venue for our shows. We are currently working on details regarding beverage, snacks and alcohol service. The use of this venue will cost us $500 for one night and we are working on a donation at the door price for individuals and families to help cover this cost.

We are also happy to announce that Dale Skyllingstad of Tacoma will be coming on board as our Sound and Visual Engineer. He along with our Multi-media Engineer Steve Eshom will provide for a great show for everyone to enjoy. Look for an official announcement and call for shows to come out in the next couple of months.
