“First Saturday Clarendon, Texas” continues in this weekend with the Donley County Farmers Market, Whistle-Stop Trade Days, movies at the Sandell Drive-In and Mulkey Theatre, and more fun activities and shopping.
August 7 marks the third month of the “First Saturday” promotion.
This Saturday people can enjoy the food trucks, live music, and fun of the Whistle-Stop, shop all the fresh produce, baked goods, and other items at the new Donley County Farm 2 Table market at Cornell’s Country Store, and spend time at the Clarendon Aquatic Center.
Clarendon is Cinema City and offers movie lovers two historic venues to see the latest Hollywood hits. The Sandell Drive-In with its amazing burgers is featuring “Jungle Cruise” Friday and Saturday with gates opening at 7:30 p.m. and the show starting at dusk. Downtown at the Mulkey Theatre, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” will be the featured presentation with a 7:30 p.m. showtime on Friday and Saturday and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Shoppers can also enjoy several local merchants this weekend. Among those open on Saturday will be Every Nook & Cranny, Old West Book Gallery, Saye’s Flying “A” Tack, and Henson’s on Kearney St., and Cornell’s Country Store, Broken Road Jr. Liquor Store, and Clarendon Outpost on Hwy 287.
The new marketing campaign to pool resources and centralize support behind a once-a-month weekend of activities, trade days, shopping and fun in Clarendon and Donley County.
Businesses, organizations, and anyone else planning an event are encouraged to consider having it on the weekend of the First Saturday of each month.
First Saturday events are being sought for September to go along with trade days. First Saturday in October will see the return of the Lions Clubs members from across the Panhandle as they bring their fall cabinet meeting back to the Mulkey Theatre.
