"Fixation" focuses on the world of fixed-gear cycling and captures the excitement and popularity of this growing sportfrom allperspectives.

With the resurgence of this original form of cycling, people arediscoveringthe appealto having only one gear. Though technology has developed multiple-speed bicycles, for fasterand easierriding,both fixed and freewheel single speeds continue to have a strong following.

The rangeofridersisvast, from professi onals to the casualeverydayrider.

Their styles and motives are different, but their outcome seems to be the same: the freedom, the simplicity and the challenge ofhaving one gear is what brings them back to the basics.

The film explores the full spectrum ofthislifestyle:M essengers, Olympic Racing, City Riders, Bike Polo, Brakeless, Freestyle and more.

"Fixation" showcases the differentpersonalitiesofthoseinvolved with fixed-gear cycling community, in the California cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Jose.

An Old-Fashioned Dessert Social will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 8p.m.Saturday attheLa Grande Marketplace next to Nature's Pantry.

The social will include a pie walk, a photo booth, raflles and live music by House Blend.

Participants will also be"gorging on dessert," said Chantell Cosner, executive director of the Liberty Theatre Foundation board.

Tickets forthe socialare $7for adults and $5 for children younger than 10. Admission for a family of two adults and two children is $20. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at the Farmer's Market earlier Saturday.

Following the social, at 8:30 p.m., a Demolition Party will be held at the Stage Door Theater to commemorate the dismantling of the venue. Sum People will play live music, and the party will run until midnight. There will be a $5 cover charge at the door.

La Grande's Liberty Theatre has been remodeled three times.

It has been named and renamed the Orpheum Theater, theArcade Theater, and in 1930 the Liberty Theater. It has showcased vaudeville shows,"talkie" films in the '30s, plays,musicals,speakers, concerts, shows and much more.

And now the Liberty Theatre Foundation is again hoping to restore this historical landmark to working condition. The foundation's two fundraisers Saturday will raise funds for the repairs.

The historic LibertyTheatre blade sign was a beacon in the night.

History The Orpheum Theater was built in 1910 to show vaudeville performances. In 1911, the Orpheum changed to a movie house and was renamed the Arcade Theater.

Twenty years later, Frederic Mercy, an Oregon businessman, bought the Arcade and renamed it Liberty Theatre. The Liberty housed various arts events and served as a culture locus in La Grande for nearly 30 years.

But by the late '50s, more families owned television sets and fewer people attended shows and events. In 1959, the Liberty closed and was subsequently converted to commercial space in 1962 and has remained so until today.

Restoration Today,though,theLiberty Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicatedto restoring the Liberty Theater to functionality and

beauty. Cosner said the theater will immensely boost the cultural and economic value of La Grande.

'You will walk into a beautiful theater," she said.'You will have unique concessions, custom art

u

Cosner also said Liberty Theatre will provide artistic diversity, opportunities for students from Eastern Oregon University to contribute to their community and a venueforlocalartiststo showcase their work. eWe'll have a beautiful, grand theaterthat isa big partofour past making the future better," she sald.

The $3.4 million restoration is divided into four phases. Phase one involvesrestoration ofthe theater's facade. Phase two involves gutting the interior, ceiling and wall repairs. Phase three is electric, heating, venting and cooling, plumbing, and stage floor and basement repairs. And phase four is installation of the seating, lighting and other technical equipment.

Saturday's fundraisers' proceeds will directly contribute to the completion of phase one of the restoration.
