Subject: Photo of the Ritz Theatre in Wellington.
I am working with a preservation group on a restoration project, and it's going to be a great addition to the town. The theater was built in 1928 and is one of the finest small-town theaters in the state. It was abandoned for more than 20 years, but is being restored for a community arts center.

The photo is courtesy of Wellborn Sign Company of Amarillo, who did the restoration work on the sign and marquee. - Wes Reeves, Xcel Energy Regional Communications Consultant, Amarillo, TX, October 12, 2004
