OAK GROVE, La., (Knoe 8 News) - "Operation 2012" chairman says a total of $10,575 has now been collected in the fund-raising drive for the Fiske theater.
"We are excited we have come this far, this fast," Chairman Robyn Creech said. "We have come along way toward reaching our goal, and still have a way to go but we are confident we will reach the mark we have set."
The purpose of the fundraiser is to complete the Chamber's renovation of the theatre by replacing the seats, repairing/repainting the ceiling and replacing the front doors of the theatre.
The goal of the project is to raise a total of $30,000.
The Fiske Theatre is owned by the West Carroll Chamber of Commerce and operated by Holland Entertainment LLC of Oak Grove. All funds raised from this project will go toward theatre restoration and no funds will be used for general theatre operation. Project books are available for review by request.
