ATLANTA (AP) Atlanta's Fox Theatre is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the campaign that helped spare it from demolition. <br />
<br />
Fox president and CEO Allan Vella on Tuesday announced a yearlong celebration to thank Atlanta for helping to save it with the ``Save the Fox'' campaign. <br />
<br />
The celebration, called ``The Legend Lives On,'' is set to include a block party, a gala, an educational partnership with the Savannah College of Art and Design, a contest to find its biggest fan, a film festival and a series of shows. <br />
<br />
The Fox Theater had fallen into disrepair by 1974 and was set for demolition. A coalition of citizens, students, local businesses and the mayor's office banded together to save the midtown Atlanta landmark. <br />
<br />
It was saved and now hosts more than 300 events each year.
