Rockford sign comes down

The Rockford Theatre's iconic "Rockford" sign was removed from atop the building's collapsed roof on Wednesday, Jan. 25. The sign was then taken to Bismarck Sign Co. for repair, as plans are in the works to rebuild the 100-year-old theatre. There is a benefit account set up at Bank Forward in New Rockford, and tax-deductible direct donations can be sent to NRABC, 117 1st St S, New Rockford, N.D. 58356. Local resident Melanie Quinton has organized a movie night at the Brown Memorial on Friday, Feb. 3 at 7:45 p.m. With a $10 per person donation to the theatre, watch "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" projected on the wall, and enjoy a munchie tray.
