The documentary released last weekend about Crittenden County's history was a big hit with audiences who viewed the nearly hour-long video at Fohs Hall.
The "world premier" was held Friday night with about 150 attending. No one from Crittenden County had laid eyes on the video until it was shown Friday.
More than 200 DVDs would sold the first day they were available. Some were pre-sold. A second showing was held Sunday with about 125 attending.
The $20 DVDs are available at Quilting Tomorrow's Heirlooms in Marion. They will be available at other locations in the future. To have one mailed, cost is $25 which includes shipping and handling.
When you see the video, you will find a striking sequence about the Amish community. The information for the script came firsthand from an Amish woman but an actress' voice was used to narrate that segment. The Amish can't be photographed or portrayed in such movies due to their religious beliefs.
Read more behind-the-scenes tidbits about the movie in this week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press.
