The Exchange Club of Mesquite invites you to again be part of an awe-inspiring Mesquite tradition as they present the Thirteenth Annual One Thousand Flags over Mesquite tribute to our military and our veterans.
The field of 1000 American flags will be assembled on the west field of the Mesquite Recreation Center on Sunday morning, Nov. 4, and will stand proudly until Nov. 11, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. Of course, the field is lighted at night, and volunteers from our community will maintain a watchful vigil at the field every minute of every day.
There will be a single ceremony presented at the field, on Veterans’ Day, Sunday, November 11, at 2:00 PM, at which the Mesquite Fire Department will conduct a dignified and poignant Flag Retirement. If you have a worn or weathered American Flag that should be retired, please feel free to bring it to the field anytime during the week.
The Virgin Valley Theatre Group had a successful opening weekend of Arsenic and Old Lace. Audiences loved the production which they say, “Gets better and better as the show moves forward. Each new character adds a new level to the comedy and craziness.” You won’t want to miss this production; it’s a hoot from beginning to end.
Show schedules are Nov., 9, 10, 16 & 17 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. For more information on the Virgin Valley Theatre Group’s 2018-19 Season or for volunteer opportunities, contact the VVTG at www.vvtgnv.com.
Remember to send in those event notices; the snowbirds are coming back, the holidays are near and things are going to be happening that you’ll want folks to know about. Send them to terin.bbm@gmail.com so you can everyone know what’s happening with your group or club.
