Revitalizing the Vinton Palace Theatre

Vinton, Iowa is a town of some 5,000 people located on the Cedar River in the northern part of the state. In a story repeated in small towns all across the country, Vinton flourished through much of the 20th century but over the years as the importance of the family farm diminished the town began to fall on hard times. Businesses failed, people moved away and in the early 1970s, in a story also repeated in too many small towns across the country the Vinton Palace Theatre closed its doors. Today, thanks to the tireless efforts of a lot of people in the community, the theatre is a viable business again and this month it successfully premiered its first digital 3D movie.
