BRANDON — The Brandon History Center is planning a birthday party on Saturday, July 16, at the Brandon Auditorium which will feature the premier showing of a 30-minute video about the auditorium's unique design and history.

Unusual for its fortress-like design and use of fieldstone, the auditorium was built during the Great Depression by the Works Progress Administration and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The video was produced by Alexandria-based AMS Digital Productions and will be shown on a big movie screen at 1:30 and 3 p.m.

The auditorium will also contain many displays of Brandon and the surrounding area. The Brandon Fire Department will provide a free lunch.

Students who earned trophies from 1973 to 2017 will get a chance to take them home that day, on a first-come, first-served basis. The trophies are from a variety of events at Brandon/Evansville High School. This will be their only chance to take home their trophies.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
