The Agriculture Museum where I volunteer is providing some 1920's/1930's equipment for this movie. Also some ladders, hand trucks, and lots and lots of wooden apple boxes. The set people also asked if we had 1930's era clothing but we don't. Oddly enough, not a month ago I was asked by a woman if we could use "two closets full of 1930's clothing".   Of course I have no idea who she was since I knew it wasn't the kind of thing the museum would want.

The film required an apple orchard with large, very tall, widely spaced trees like they grew them during the 1930's. The location in California where they were going to film the opening and closing scenes of the movie was dried up and brown from the drought. So, they reached out to a local apple packing firm here in Yakima. They had the orchard with old style trees, but no antique equipment. Enter the Ag museum...

I do know generally where it is going to be filmed, but not exactly. The set dressers have been in Yakima since last Friday. They've visited the museum a couple of times and picked out some other things they want moved to the location. The apple packing company is going to haul the museum equipment out there on Friday.
