Dear Grant,

The Mountaineer Theatre will be opening this weekend for its 50th anniversary season.
When we started our movie theatre in 1975, we wanted to bring in the best films possible for our community to enjoy. Little did we know that we would have shown nearly two thousand movies during these fifty years.
Besides our regular summer schedule, we plan to do a Throwback Thursday series of classic films in July and August. Also, on July 24, we will be having a Fly-Fishing Film Festival Despite inflation concerns, we will keep our ticket and concession prices unchanged for another year. As a result, we offer prices that are some of the lowest in the movie theatre industry. We have always been motivated to bring in movies that are affordable for all ages of movie goers.
We thank our many loyal customers for their support this last half century. We are also thankful for our wonderful young staff and especially Bennett Levine, our theatre manager, who has gone beyond the call of duty this last year while I was dealing with health issues.
We look forward to seeing you at the movies!

_{Sincerely,
Phillip Virden and family}
