The Watson has met its fundraising goal to be the coolest place in town, and it will have a new name for its auditorium after a massive donation.
Johnston and Company Law Office is celebrating 100 years of operation by donating $35,000 to the Watson Art Center, capping off the fundraising for the new heat pump system.
This donation also secures the naming right of the Watson's Auditorium, with a formal ceremony later this spring.
Dauphin and District Allied Arts Council Board Chair Cam Bennet was thrilled by this donation.
"This donation ensures that the Watson will be open 12 months of the year moving forward. We could not be any happier."
The "Johnston and Company Auditorium" will continue to be a central hub of culture and performance in Dauphin.
