In the next few years, your community might we celebrating a 150th, 175th or 200th birthday. As we stated on our Welcome
Page, we have done DVD sets for three different communities. In Mason City, IL, we did a historical DVD of the 150 history
of the community and did actual filming at the celebration and made a separate DVD set. We also did Sesquicentennials at
Greenview, IL and at San Jose, IL, we did the same as Mason City, where there was a historical DVD completed at now
completing the actual DVD of their Sesquicentennial celebration. In conjunction with San Jose, there was an Antique Tractor
Pull, that we are completing in the next week.
We meet with your committee thru the planning stages and fully work with the committee's suggestions on what they would like to see in this type of DVD and at the same time, we have suggestions from previous experiences in making these DVD's. We ask
the committee to get information to their website and local newspapers in obtaining photos, slides, 8mm, High 8 film and VHS.
The photos are given the best of care, while we are scanning or acquiring from a VHS and will be returned in a timely
manner. It is always fun to see how far back in history a community can go. For example at Mason City, a lady brought photos
of relatives of her's who served in the Civil War and was a doctor in Mason City. I found out later, this gentleman and his wife
are lied to rest in the old cemetery just west of our house.
We will provide free as additional advertisement a webpage on this website for the completion of your DVD and when it is completed,
there will be your price and contact person for someone, if they check the website.
Please contact this email address if you would be interested in your community being included on a 2 hour DVD. I would be very glad
to attend your Sesquicentennial Committee Meeting and answer any questions or you are welcome to see copies of any
Sesquicentennial I have completed. I have Master copies of all my work. Please contact me and I will get a complimentrary copy to you.
As for cost, there is no upfront cost to your community or committee. All money is paid upon completion and your total satisfaction
with the DVDs.
