On Wednesday evening, after an audience countdown, the Silco Marquee came back to life after many years of darkness.

New Mexico Film Office representatives were in Silver City for the occasion, which also included head shots of anyone interested in partitipcating in future films, a town hall on the possibilities of film making in the area, and a short documentary on the Silco marquee.

MainStreet Board members, past and present, were on hand for the festivities, as were many planning to get head shots to get parts in films, and other community members joining in the evening's activities.
