- We hosted the first annual Made in Huntington Film & TV Festival presented by the Huntington Cultural Affairs Institute and the Town of Huntington.

OUR YEAR IN THE SKY ROOM CAFÉ:
- We sold 5,400 liters of fountain soda, enough to fill 54 bathtubs.
- We went through about 16,400 tubs of popcorn, roughly 40,000 liters. That’s a literal ton of popcorn by weight!
