Re-Opening Anniversary

The Fair Theater will be celebrating the 20 Anniversary of its Re-Opening
th
on Saturday, October 26 at the Fair Theater (717 Broadway). The event will
begin at 6:00 p.m. with an Open House and Guided Tours of the Fair
followed by local artists performances and twenty years of events and
people remembered at 7:00 p.m. Hors d'oeuvres will be served afterwards and we encourage
the public to join us for the celebration.
The Fair Theater was rehabilitated to its current condition and reopened in October 1999. Led
by David Wilder and the Fair Theater Renovation Board of Directors, the rehabilitation required
a community effort including craftsmanship from local prisoners, donations from the
community and support from the City.
Since its Re-Opening twenty years ago, various acts including a Plainview rendition of Hee Haw,
the Musical Texas band performance, Marty Haggard and other productions have made their
way across the stage. Of course, the facility is also available to the public and various children
and adults have graced the stage for play productions, concerts, movie parties, birthday parties,
weddings, business meetings and more.
“The Fair is a ‘gem of downtown’ and a great asset for the community,” says Melinda Brown,
Fair Theater Manager. “There was much blood, sweat, tears and money that went into the
rehabilitation to make the building what it is today and we are excited to honor their work.”
This event is the first of a year-long celebration commemorating the renovation. Fair staff will
presenting more entertainment options to the Fair throughout the year as well as telling the
Fair renovation and history to the public through local media and social media.
