Larry, Lee, Lansdale,

Filming a TV Show in the Magazine Room
TV Show
Committee Films came to town last week to film an episode of America Unearthed for History Channel. On Friday afternoon they used the library's reading room to film an interview between the show's host and a guest. On Thursday they used mini-submarines to explore Rock Lake. I did not get photos of the submarines.
Host is in the blue shirt.
Commercial for the television program.
