Southwest Cultural Development Group President Gwen Uher speaks during the kick-off to Culture Days at the Innovation Credit Union Courtyard on Friday

 

 

The Lyric Theatre was shown off at several Culture Days events over weekend, and has been raising money through the last month to help restore it in time for its centennial next year.

The campaign had a fundraising goal of $500,000 as they looked to apply for a matching federal grant.

Gwen Uher, President of the Southwest Cultural Development Group, says they had great support from the community through the campaign.


Uher says it will be about six months before they find out if they have been awarded the grant.

She adds you can continue to support the campaign by calling the Lyric Theatre, visiting their website, or making a donation at Innovation Credit Union.
