The Kay Theater Foundation has been showing movies on Friday nights for several months now, but they have something special planned for Memorial Day weekend. They are showing three movies. Midway will be shown on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m. Battleship will be played on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. And Wonder Woman will be shown on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. and Monday at 4 p.m.
Admission is only $5 and it sounds like fun to me!
There are several swimming events happening soon.
The city pool at Veteran’s Memorial Park is going to open this weekend. Admission is $4. Food and drinks will be provided.
The Rockdale Country Club is having a pool party on Saturday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Members can invite up to three guests.
And another happening at the city pool will be on Wednesday, June 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. Several churches, businesses and the city are the sponsors and free snow cones will be available.
Be sure to drive out to Bridge Park over the weekend for an amazing sight to see, thanks to the American Legion and the VFW. Flags have been placed there to commemorate the Milam County soldiers who have lost their lives in all of the wars since World War I. Students from the National Honor Society and the Student Council helped with placing the flags and it really is a beautiful thing to see.
Graduation is Friday night at Tiger Field and the weather looks like it will cooperate, but if it doesn’t it’ll be held in the high school auditorium.
In this edition we have our Graduation Tab with all the graduating seniors in it from Rockdale, Milano and Thorndale. We thank the businesses around town for sponsoring this special keepsake for our grads.
I took photos at the high school awards ceremony last Wednesday night, so all of you who complained about my big fat head being in the way of your own photos will be happy to know that all of the scholarship photos are on page 6A in this week’s issue without my big fat head in any of them.
That was a fun night and there sure are a lot of clubs, individuals and businesses who are very generous with scholarship money for our seniors.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am looking forward to a slowdown after the busyness of graduation season, but I’ll bet no one is looking forward to it more than the parents of seniors.
I got something wrong in last week’s paper about the Rancheria Grande being located at Sugarloaf Mountain. It isn’t. It’s on land adjacent to it that is owned by several families in the Gause area.
To hear more about this topic, be at the Lucy Hill Patterson Memorial Library on June 3 at 2 p.m. to hear Dr. John Pruett who will present the 18-minute El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail YouTube video, followed by a question-and-answer period.
