OGDEN, Utah — Peery’s Egyptian Theatre is a landmark in Ogden, but it was boarded up in the 1980s and almost demolished until Van Summerill stepped up and decided to save it.
"It was dirty, chairs were not where they should be, there was holes in the ceiling — it was just a mess,” said Jay Cannon, another nephew of Van's. "He was doing bake sales and selling t-shirts and 5k runs, everything that he could do to raise funds to help bring awareness and save this beautiful theatre,” Bybee said."Now looking at it, it’s a masterpiece. Just walking in and seeing, I'm proud of what my uncle did,” Cannon said."Get the next generation ready to enjoy these things and preserve these things and share them with the future,” said Ryan.
