The screening of the 90 minute original film by Bill Stewart was followed by a buffet of hors d’oeuvres and champagne set in front of a magnificent panorama of artifacts and archival material pertaining to Pete Friesen's life.
“Pete: Moving Manmade Mountains” is a motion picture celebration of Pete's life and achievements. While relocating approximately 5,000 buildings in his lifelong career, he has helped preserve some of America’s most treasured historic structures, including Cape Hatteras Lighthouse for which Pete and his team received the OPAL award. Pete has four entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the 1997 move of the beautiful Gem Theatre.
Close to 285 people were able to greet Pete Friesen, the man himself who made the trip back to his home town of Provost, Alberta.
