A chance to look through a time portal

PCFI Open House 5/29 - We think that you guys will really love what we have planned, because we are showing a collection of films, trailers, and interviews. One of which is a 1938 vintage film of a house warming taking place at the Cotton Patch. We believe that Lefty Flynn and other well known-s of the time were having a party on the deck. The film was found by a young guy in Polk County who donated it to us for the showing. I think you will find it absolutely fantastic!!
