Subject: Ritz Theatre in Wellington
I am working with a preservation group on a restoration project, and
it's going to be a great addition to the town. The theater was built
in 1928 and is one of the finest small-town theaters in the state.
It was abandoned for more than 20 years, but is being restored for
a community arts center.

the restoration work on the sign and marquee. - Wes
