Mayor Ricky White presents a key to the city to Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) at the Cheeseburger Festival & Cookoff last Saturday. Rep. Arrington will hold a Town Hall Meeting in Friona at 10: a.m. on August 6th at the Friona Senior Citizens Center.
If you were going to establish a Summer Drama Workshop Hall of Fame, these five individuals would be at the top of the list as inductees. (l-r) Joy Morton, Allison Johnston, Del Lewis, Hollis Horton, and Erika Montana. Hollis was on the committee that founded SDW back in 1969. Del, director emeritus, was the driving force behind the early success of the program. Joy, and her protégés, Allison and Erika, have continued the legacy and were the directors of the shows this year.
Town Talk
Dale & Donna Schueler are leading a 9-day bus trip in late October to the “Arc Encounter (Noah’s Ark Replica) & Creation Museum” in Cincinnati Ohio. It should be a very enjoyable trip. If you have ever wanted to go but you don’t want to plan and drive by yourself, this trip is for you. Call Dale Schueler at 806-265-7433 or Donna Schueler at 806-265-5960. Information can be picked up at the First Baptist Church office at 404 W. 5th in Friona.

Summer Drama Memories
By Connie Slagle
Although Summer Drama Workshop began the summer I graduated from high school, I was unaware of it until my kids were in school.

Here are a few of my favorites.
