Pictured above is western film star ,Tim Holt, during a personal appearance at Avondale Youth Center on June 3rd, 1954. Mr. Holt also made an appearance at the Sky-Way Drive-in on Maysville Pike and other theatres in the area. Tim Holt was one of the most popular cowboy film stars from the 1930's to the 1950's, and was featured in a comic book series.
