Book Club - Fever Dream: A Novel by Samantha Schweblin
2019-11-17 19:00 - 20:00 UTC
Come talk books with us! This month’s read – as selected by the group during our last meet-up – is Book Club: Fever Dream: A Novel by Samanta Schweblin. As always, we’ll provide a variety of snacks to munch on during the meet-up. We’ll close out the meeting by voting on next month’s book, so have your suggestions ready!
If you’re unable to purchase and/or borrow the book, we’ll have a copy available to read in the Arts and Craft Library.
This is a free event. To join, just read the book and show up at 7pm on Sunday, 11/17. That’s all there is to it!
Synopsis:
A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He’s not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.
Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.

4th Annual Holiday Craft or Confection Gift Exchange
2019-11-18 08:00 - 17:00
Hands Down one of the Best Free Events to do around the Holidays in Lockhart! This is our 4th year, and every year we have more participants. It’s SO SIMPLE, and only takes about an hour. Bring 6 handmade crafts or homemade baked goods. It’s important that the items be somewhat artisan. No macaroni picture frames, or candy cane reindeer. It’s just not fair to someone that is making handmade jewelry or hand carved figures to give those away in exchange for something not up to the same grade. Bring your A game! Some great examples from the past have been….
Homemade Matcha Shortbread
Mini Cocktail Kits
Homemade lip balm or bath salts
Handmade jewelry
Homemade Nightlights
Hand dipped candles
Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/homemade buttercream frosting
Hand painted Christmas Ornaments
Handmade record coaster bundles
Live Mistletoe Bundles
Seriously the sky is the limit! Then we all pick a number, and take turns picking items we want. It’s that easy.

Evenings with the Songwriter: Jack Pledge
2019-11-26 19:00 - 21:00
We will conclude this ninth season on the last Tuesday of this month, November 26, with Jack Pledge.
Award winning singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer, Jack Pledge is a re-patriated Texan now back in San Antonio – he lived in Australia for 20 years following a 13 year stint in Canada. Although his background is primarily country music, Jack’s repertoire is as electric and wide ranging as his tastes. His early albums, “Songs about Cowboys and Drugstores” and ‘It Must Be Love,’ set the stage for what has been an ever-evolving career. Jack believes that entertaining is supposed to be fun, so his first job is to make his audience feel like his guests as he weaves his musical magic. A masterful storyteller and historian, come and experience Jack Pledge for yourself – you will certainly come away entertained, enlightened and satisfied.
Supported by Friends of the Song, Todd Blomerth & Patti Payne, Donaly & Clare Brice, Bob & Esther Wilson. Hosted by Fletcher Clark.

It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless. But their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions (she her beautiful long hair, he his heirloom pocket watch) in order to buy presents for each other thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city.

We will have an amount of the weirdest food ever – Southern Pear Salad, so come eat some of that or just look at it and say “What?”
We will have some pretty medium level decorations and if you wear a bad sweater there’s no contest or anything, we’ll just say “Wow, are you trying out for a play or something?”
So come on down after the parade and let’s all be the worst together.

What: Sting Ray Anthony ‘Jukebox Rocks’
Where: Palace Theater, Seguin TX
When: December 14th 4:00 pm

Featuring: Sting Ray Anthony and special guest entertainers Shake, Rattle and Roll, the all-female show group.
Ray Anthony’s arsenal of talent extends beyond look and voice. As an accomplished musician/songwriter, his knowledge in the high-tech, fast-paced music industry is unlimited. A gifted guitarist, Ray also plays bass, piano, and drums. “My best musical work is from the ’50s and ’60s, but I listen to everything.”
Before joining the award-winning live tribute show Legends in Concert, Ray performed his high energy tribute to Valens in shows across Canada, the US, and Mexico and received personal accolades from Ritchie Valens’ original producer-manager Bob Keane of Del-Fi Records. Bob is very impressed with Ray’s portrayal of his star and pleased Ritchie’s memory is being kept alive in such a professional manner.
Ray says, “It’s amazing what happens to the audience when I sing Ritchie Valens’ songs. They get very excited and want to dance out of their seats to join in. I love that part.” Ray’s breathtaking rendition of Valens brings captivated fans to their feet and scores rave reviews from critics. “La Bamba” created in detail from the movie of the same name is the highlight of his tribute “I want the audience who did not know or recognize Ritchie to re-live that time through my work.”
Shake Rattle & Roll – a nationally recognized 50′s & 60′s tribute show group who will make you stop, drop and roll with laughter as they take you back to a time of innocence with their beautiful harmony, choreographed moves, comedy, and hula hooping skills.
Shake Rattle & Roll has entertained with The Coasters, Jimmy Clanton, The Country Comedy Tour, Las Vegas artist Sting Ray Anthony (Richie Valens), Kenny James (Buddy Holly), Donny Edwards (#1 Elvis Tribute Artist in the world) and for numerous Civic Organizations, churches, commercial businesses and sing back up for other artists.
