The second annual Mulkey Block Party will be held Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, May 24, and there is still time for sponsors and vendors to sign up.
“Insufficient Funds,” the band that was so popular at the first block party, will be back on stage to entertain for the evening.
Steve Hall and Jesse Lincycomb, both of Howardwick, will again provide the opening musical entertainment starting about 6 p.m., and a live auction benefiting the Mulkey Theatre Project will also be held.
Booth spaces will be offered for food vendors and activities with booth fees set at $50. Booth spaces will be available to both non-profit and for-profit groups, and vendors can have their booth fee waived if they wish to donate 50 percent or more of their proceeds to the Mulkey.
A car show will be held again, but organizers anticipate greater participation this year with vehicles from all eras being accepted for the show.
Entertainment activities for kids are being lined up as well, and one proposed idea would take kids into the Mulkey itself. Organizers are working out the logistics having cartoons shown inside the theatre on a temporary projector and make-shift screen.
Like last year, sponsorships from individuals and businesses will be the key to a successful event that will benefit the Mulkey Theatre project.
Inside the Mulkey, workers are busy with the first interior renovations to the building. The lobby, restrooms, concession area, and ticket booth should all be rehabilitated and ready for visitors during the block party.
For more information on the Mulkey Block Party, to rent booth space, or to sign on as a sponsor, contact Chandra Eggemeyer at the Clarendon Visitor Center at 806-874-2421.
