The key to the overwhelming success of the Crighton Theatre production of Dust Bowl Motel was people like Harold Hutcheson. Hutch to most of us, donated the proceeds from the sale of his painting to the Dust Bowl Motel Benefit. The painting was an entry in the Conroe Art League's show entitled, what else but, Dust Bowl Motel. The show was on display at the Madeley Building in conjunction with the play.

Donations to Dust Bowl Motel were distributed to The Crighton Theatre Foundation, Performing Arts Scholarships and to the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of Make-A-Wish. The Make-A-Wish donation resulted in the granting of a wish to a child in Montgomery County.

Harold's job at Conroe Convention and Visitor's Bureau works to bring visitors into Conroe. Dust Bowl Motel did just that. The play and art show had visitors from cities across Texas and from several states. Below is a picture of Harold with guests who were visiting from Indiana. They gave us rave reviews for the art show and play.

Thanks Harold for your support of Dust Bowl Motel.
