GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year, WFMY News 2 turns 75! So, to celebrate our diamond year, we're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.
On March 18, 1973, the Greensboro Children's Theatre was putting on their production of 'The Pale Pink Dragon'.
Our crews caught up with them a few days before to check out the star of the show.
Some of the actors' parents constructed the 10-foot dragon.
They made it out of chicken wire, styrofoam, and muslin.
Rain in the area created a few challenges because the paint wouldn't dry!
They bought in heaters so it could dry and be ready for show time.
