Concert Series Presented by Keeled Scales at Chaparal Coffee
2019-10-12 19:30 - 23:00 UTC | TX
Jordan Moser & Sarah Reyes will swoon us with their musical talents.
Read what Austin Chronicle said about the new album by Jordan Moser :

Following a decade of ballet performance and recording music, Jordan Moser turns a fresh leaf on his local Keeled Scales debut. The carefully curated collection of country folk slides open softly on the steel guitar-shaped “Down With Me.” Rich hums separate Moser’s literary lines, echoed by the smoky tone of Austin’s Molly Burch on all eight tracks, including a feature for final Western duet “Road to Trouble.” Pointed instrumentation and Dailey Toliver’s swooping guitar curves make the album agreeable for Burch fans, darkened with a dense tangle of lovesick reflections. “The Devil” prays wearily to the eternal challenge of romance (“Oh Devil, let us sleep like we used to”), followed by the title track’s warning: “It’s gonna be a long, long night.” That sentiment comes to a head on “Love Is Gonna Test You,” foiling bright beats over placement in “a wilderness of the soul.” The writings of a witty, well-traveled skeptic, Moser’s songs slip out like sighs. Sometimes the breaths are resigned, but others mark entrance of a new beginning.

16th Annual Speaking of the Dead “Night Ramblings in a Texas Graveyard”
2019-10-25 18:00 - 2019-10-26 20:30 | TX
The Caldwell County Historical Commission is hosting their 16th Annual Speaking of the Dead “Night Ramblings in a Texas Graveyard” where costumed actors portray spirits from Caldwell County cemeteries. These guided tours are both educational and entertaining and sell-out early. Actors portray spirits of the past, telling their stories in character. Tours will start at the main entrance of the Lockhart City Cemetery, Friday evening, October 25, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, October 26. 20 people per tour with 9 tours each night from 6:30 to 9:10 p.m.
Tickets for $15 must be purchased in advance. Follow the Caldwell County Historical Commission Facebook for updates. Complimentary parking will be at Kreuz Market and under the overpass. The proceeds from this enlightening event benefit the Caldwell County Jail Museum.
Spirits to be Portrayed
Richard G. Head (1847-1906)
Following the Civil War, Texas found itself in a serious economic situation. It was soon determined that the cattle industry in Texas would be its salvation. Cattlemen began herding together thousands of wild Texas cattle to be driven northward to the railroads and shipped off to the northeast where they could be sold for a large profit. Richard Head was one of these Texas trail drivers. Head will be portrayed by Ray Chandler.
Edward B. Coopwood (1863-1952)
Edward Coopwood was a very prominent lawyer and banker here in Lockhart. He came to Texas in the latter part of the 19th century and became active in all the civic organizations of the community. He was also an active part of the early Lockhart Volunteer Fire Department. He will tell us a little about what his life was like back then. Coopwood will be portrayed by Wayne Walther.
Corinne C. Deviney (1901-1999)
During the early 1900s a woman’s life was quite different from that of today. Women’s roles in society primarily centered around the family and home. However, Corinne Deviney was her own person and did not fit the image of what was expected of an early 20th century woman. Deviney will be portrayed by Mary Lowrance.
Milton S. Wilson (1923-1941)
We have many military veterans buried here in the Lockhart Cemetery. Some of these men and women died during the war and many came home to lead productive lives for many years. Milton Wilson was a young man who enlisted in the Navy but served for only a short time before his death. Wilson will be portrayed by Todd Blomerth.
Blanche Lohman (1891-1987)
Most towns are known for having their “colorful” and “unforgettable” characters in their communities. Blanche Lohman came to Lockhart before she was a year old. She grew up as a prominent merchant and became one of the most beloved citizens in town. She lived a long and exciting life. Her love of people and her hometown, along with her outgoing personality, made her a most remarkable and memorable character. Lohman will be portrayed by Carol Ohlendorf.
Leonidas M. Camp (1832-1926) and May Camp (1872-1961)
Leonidas M. Camp served in the Civil War from Mississippi. He survived many of the bloodiest battles fought in that war and later moved west and settled here in Lockhart. He will tell us about the campaigns in which he fought. Buried next to Mr. Camp is one of his daughters who became one of the most well-known citizens of Lockhart. May Camp was a quiet young woman who became the librarian for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library. She served in that position for a longer period than any other librarian in Lockhart. She was responsible for promoting education and culture through her job that extended through World War I, the Great Depression and much of World War II. Leonidas will be portrayed by Ray Sanders and May will be portrayed by Julie Ohlendorf.

Book Club - This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
2019-10-27 19:00 - 20:00 | TX

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, 10/27. That’s all there is to it!
Synopsis:
Two time-traveling agents from warring futures, working their way through the past, begin to exchange letters—and fall in love in this thrilling and romantic book from award-winning authors Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
In the ashes of a dying world, Red finds a letter marked “Burn before reading. Signed, Blue.”
So begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents in a war that stretches through the vast reaches of time and space.
Red belongs to the Agency, a post-singularity technotopia. Blue belongs to Garden, a single vast consciousness embedded in all organic matter. Their pasts are bloody and their futures mutually exclusive. They have nothing in common—save that they’re the best, and they’re alone.
Now what began as a battlefield boast grows into a dangerous game, one both Red and Blue are determined to win. Because winning’s what you do in war. Isn’t it?
A tour de force collaboration from two powerhouse writers that spans the whole of time and space.

Growing up in small Texas towns, their ghosts and memories appear often in his songs – distant trains in the night, unread letters lying in weathered mailboxes, and memories of the things we love-and-leave blowing across the vast Texas plains. Lyrical imagery and textures that whisper their way effortlessly into the heart, Jeff’s songs are haunting treatises on longing and remembrance. A graduate of Duke University, (winner of the prestigious Academy of American Poets Award) Jeff earned his Masters from the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers in North Carolina. He was a successful board certified Texas lawyer and award winning poet when he closed down his law office in 2003 for life as an itinerant singer songwriter.

Annual Dia de Los Muertos Community Altar and Celebration in Downtown Lockhart
2019-11-01 17:00 - 22:00 | Downtown Lockhart, Texas, Lockhart, TX, 78644, United States
Local Non-Profit Feria de Culturas will be sponsoring their Annual Dia de Los Muertos Community Altar as part of First Friday festivities on November 1, 2019. The celebration honors the lives of deceased loved ones by placing an altar adorned with pictures of the dearly departed, their favorite foods, sugar skulls, along with candles and marigold flowers. The festival is not to be confused with Halloween. Dia de Los Muertos is not a day for ghosts and goblins, rather a day to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed on.
This year, Feria de Culturas is encouraging downtown businesses to participate in the event by displaying an altar of their own in their business. They can display a traditional altar honoring a deceased loved one, or one displaying items sold in their business. If the business is a restaurant or bar, they are being encouraged to feature a Dia de Los Muertos inspired dish or drink.
The entire community is encouraged to place a picture of a deceased loved one on the community altar which will be on display on the south end of the Caldwell County Courthouse on Market Street. Set up will begin on Friday November 1st at 3pm.
Free pan de muerto and Mexican hot chocolate will be provided while supplies last. Pan de muerto is traditional sweet bread served on el Dia de Los Muertos. Also, there will be face painting, free crafts, and a live performance by San Antonio based group THE CHIZME. THE CHIZME, featuring Lockhart native Nicole Valdez, gets the crowd moving with their style of cumbia, rock en español, and classic rock. You don’t want to miss out on this performance that will take place on the east end of the court house off of Main Street. The organization also hopes to add more entertainment to the evening’s lineup. The community is encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and dancing shoes. This FREE FAMILY FRIENDLY event will be held from 5pm-10pm.
