December 8th is a Wednesday. Please clarify whether this is to be shown on Tuesday, Dec 7th or Wednesday, Dec 8th. Thanks.
Family, friends and the town of Quincy, IL are all so excited for Kevin Deters (btw, please correct the reference above to “Deters” from “Denters”) and everyone else involved with the Emmy-winning effort from last year and now this year’s short. We’ve really enjoyed seeing the results of their work. Thanks!
