Clarendon’s Kearney Street will come alive Saturday night as the second annual Mulkey Block Party kicks off the Memorial Day weekend.
Steve Hall and Jesse Lincycomb of Howardwick will provide the opening musical entertainment starting at 6 p.m. before Amarillo’s “Insufficient Funds” takes the stage for the evening.
In addition to dancing, food booths, and kids games on the street, and there will be fun for the entire family and kids from the ages of 0 to 99.
A $5 donation at the theatre door will get a wristband good for popcorn and drinks and allow folks to come-and-go throughout the evening. Cartoons will be showing inside the Mulkey with a temporary screen and projector, sponsored by Clarendon College, Mike’s Pharmacy, and Greenbelt Electric.
A live auction will also be held during the night, and several very nice items have been donated to the Mulkey cause, including four tickets and parking pass to a Texas Rangers game, handmade jewelry, diamond earrings, a pizza a week for a year at Pizza Hut, $200 towards new tires, a “day of beauty,” a three-month gym membership, and more. Check out the Mulkey Theatre Facebook page to find out more about the live auction.
Food booths run the gamut of everything from baked goods to fajita-on-a-stick to homemade ice cream.
The Herring Bank car show will be held again on the bank’s parking lot, and all year models are welcome to participate.
Those entering the theatre will be in for a treat as workers have spent the last two months rehabilitating the lobby and restrooms and making them shine like new. Neon cove lighting has been restored, the concession area has been refurbished, and electrical and plumbing systems have been updated. Interior woodwork has been refinished, plaster has been repaired and painted to match its original 1946 color scheme, and new light fixtures have been installed.
Major funding for this year’s block party has been provided by Budweiser and Cielo Wind Power. For more information on the Mulkey Block Party or car show, contact the Clarendon Visitor Center at 806-874-2421.
