During the past several months, Bernie Aaker Auditorium has been worked on and transformed into a performing arts center. It is now ready for use, and people are invited to come to the auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20 to see the renovation that includes new seating and sound system, as well as a revised stage and orchestra pit.
