The documentary was produced by the local production company Raptorproductions of Warren.  Historian Rob Reep was the writer and director of the film.A reception will be held in the foyer of the Cultural Center after the film is over.  Refreshments will be available.  A visual display will be exhibited featuring historic photographs from the Timber Industry.  For more information contact the Chamber of Commerce at 870-226-5225.
