The Harrington Opera House Society met July 7 at 7 p.m. in the Art Room with the following in attendance: Ed and Bunny Haugan, Mark and Sheryl Stedman, Carol, Paul Charlton, Linda Wagner, Marge Womach, Bonnie Hardy, Billie Herron, and Karen Robertson.

Billie reported that Gordon received bids for the plaster work in the opera house auditorium and for the Americans with Disabilites Act-required ramp on the interior for the elevator. Mark Stedman informed the group that he and Gordon plan to hang the hardware superstructure for the stage curtains, and that the cost including shipping would be about $1,000. The exterior sidewalk is cured and all that remains is to add the finishing wood that had been removed for the project.

Bonnie Hardy brought a sample of the nickel-plated hardware for the door handles on the doors that she is refinishing. These will look as they did when the building was constructed in 1904.

Future events were listed and the date set for the Annual Dog Wash, which will be Aug. 23 from 9–3 p.m.

The wedding arranged by Allen Barth of Dan Brown and Kitty Johnson-Woods will be Sept 13 with the accompanying car show. The Harrington Opera House Society has no duties for this event, but will have the Sept. 14 Grande Interlude at 4 p.m. to prepare for. Other events are scheduled for October. The Needhams have been added to the schedule, Sept. 22, a Monday evening performance.
