And good, healthy food makes millennials happy. The push to eat healthier, more eco-friendly foods like cage-free eggs and the rise of the meal preparation companies that send customers nutritious, fresh ingredients that they can quickly make into a cooked meal – that's all been attributed to the influence of the millennials.

A year ago, we closed out 2015 with a holiday-style letter that reviewed the year that was and previewed coming attractions.

The result is that THE trade association of the recreation, leisure-time food and beverage concessions and hospitality industry is as vital and vibrant as ever. It can never be said enough that none of this would be possible without the support of our members, sponsors and a very active Board of Directors. Details on each of following items can be found on naconline.org.

In July 1999, the River Oaks Theatre had the honor of exclusively hosting "The Blair Witch Project" for two weeks. Lines snaked around the building for an endless stream of sold-out shows. People began trying to sneak their friends in through the exit. With too many people and not enough seats, a minor riot ensued.
Then-general manager Rob Arcos and the rest of the staff ended up barricaded in the office while the cops escorted people out. Artisan Entertainment eventually sent the various Landmark Theatres staff T-shirts saying "I survived The Blair Witch Project," as thanks for handling the two weeks of insanity.
