Quemado News: Pool Tourney, Other Entertainment

The Quemado Area Connection
By Debbie Leschner

A Quemado Senior Center pool tournament will be played starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18. No sign up is needed, just come and play, and stay for lunch – bean burrito with cheese, red chile on the side, fried cabbage, summer salad and fruit cocktail cake. Sign up by 9:30 a.m. for lunch. Seniors 60 or older and spouse pay $2, while those 59 and younger pay $8.50.
On Friday at 7 p.m., there will be a big screen movie at the Quemado Cowboy Church on Highway 32.
Everyone is welcome to come and see One Night with the King. An all-star cast includes Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif, John Rhys-Davies and Tiffany Dupont in a sweeping epic about Hadassah, the young Jewish orphan who becomes the biblical Esther, queen of Persia. It is filled with lush cinematography and a mesmerizing score. There is no charge for the evening. Bring snacks. Call 773-4739 for more information.
Dinner and Entertainment: on Friday, Aug. 21, the Quemado Senior Center will have an evening of live entertainment and dinner as a fundraiser. At 4:30 p.m., enjoy a ham dinner, followed by Bill Martin portraying Houdini. The cost for both is $6.50.
Martin’s performance was given an outstanding review. The Road Runner Art Council is sponsoring the entertainment. Sign up early so the center will know how many to expect for dinner, or call 773-4820.
A double wedding ring quilt is being raffled by the Quemado Senior Center. The quilt is queen size and was hand quilted by Bonnie Armstrong, Earlene Bowlby, Betty Chavez, Tilly Chavez and Placy Padilla. Bowlby also donated the quilt top and backing.
Tickets can be purchased at the center for $1 each. A date has not been set for the drawing, but people shouldn’t wait too long or they will miss their chance to win. I have seen the quilt, and if my opinion counts, it is absolutely gorgeous! The ladies are planning their next project and getting it in the frame. Anyone interested in learning to quilt or want to help can attend the meeting, which is every Thursday at the center. Call first to see if they are meeting this Thursday, since they are still setting up the next quilt (773-4820).
How is your garden coming along? We are approaching the time when you find there is too much zucchini and not enough peppers … how about a garden swap? If you have extras or may want to acquire some fresh produce from someone who has too much, just let me know. I will try to match people, and if there is enough of a response, maybe set up a farmers market for a day. Elk, rabbits, grasshoppers and other critters need not apply.
We want to wish Sylvia a speedy recovery on her surgery so she can go look for all that gold!
