The main table in front of the stage will hold a simple oversized photo of Steve Crosno from 2005, surrounded by flowers and candles. Original comments posted at the website stevecrosno.com during the last month since Steve’s passing will by displayed on poster-sized message quotes throughout the processional area. An endless loop of assorted Crosno photos will be rotated every 15 seconds on two giant screens adjactent to both sides of the stage. Selected oldies from the Crosno era have been carefully selected to complement the memorial tribute.
An artifacts and memorabilia table will include various items related to Steve Crosno, including the original broadcast equipment used to produce his radio show. There will also be authentic clothing, notes, original photos, posters, and awards belonging to Steve Crosno. Julie Lorence, Steve’s longtime “Crosno Hop” performer & guest will be seated in the area.
