The Old Forge Hardware is joining in the effort to assist The Strand Theatre in raising funds to support its digital conversion projection project by conducting a raffle of a basket filled with store merchandise valued at $200.
The basket is currently on display at the Hardware and tickets are available for a donation of $5 each.
Old Forge Hardware has pledged to match donations up to $1,000. The drawing is set to take place on July 25th.
The Strand Theatre of Old Forge, owned by Bob Card and Helen Zyma, is one of nine small theaters in the North Country threatened by the film industries’ conversion to digital projection vs. traditional 35 millimeter film format.
It is included in the Adirondack Park-wide initiative, Go Digital or Go Dark, a campaign to keep the doors to these small theaters open.
More information is available by calling the Hardware at (315) 369-6100.
