Last week the giant lift arrived and the fire sprinkler system is now being installed.  In this photo, you can see the old organ lofts over the exits which are being repaired with new woodwork to match the original.  All the work with the lift must be done ASAP -- the only way to get it inside was to drive it through the old concession stand -- the new stand can't be constructed until the lift is out.
