The fourth annual Mulkey Block Party will be rocking downtown Clarendon this Saturday, May 28, from 6 to 10 p.m., and for the first time in the event’s history, there is no rain in the forecast.
The 100 block of Kearney Street will be closed starting Saturday morning as work begins to set up the stage and other amenities for the party.
The evening will be a night of dancing, kids’ games, and food and vendor booths in a fun-filled atmosphere to help support continued renovations of the 1946 Mulkey Theater.
EDF Renewable Energy is this year’s Entertainment Sponsor, and the party begins at 6 p.m. as local singer/song-writer Rev. Black Flowers takes the stage to provide the opening live music before Amarillo’s most highly rated band, “Insufficient Funds,” comes on at 7 p.m.
Wristbands will be sold at the theatre door 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. Party organizers are also bringing in a large bounce house for kids to enjoy.
Food booths run the gamut of everything from baked goods to sliders, and local vendors will also have items for sale.
The Herring Bank car and motorcycle show will be held again on the bank’s parking lot, and all year models are welcome.
Also at this year’s block party, the Donley County Community Fund will announce the recipients of two $1,000 grants after several local organizations applied for those funds last month
Officials will also announce news about the next phase of development for the Bring Back the Mulkey project.
