  1. Wednesday night at the Avenue theatre was LUCKY {like bingo}.night. Everyone got a few LUCKY cards at the box office, with your movie ticket. Before the movie started,.or half way through, a big rolling board was rolled out onto the stage, and numbers called until  someone yelled LUCKY !. A lady named Mrs. Bojalad conducted the LUCKY session..I think she was related to the owners of the theatre, the Marlin Way family.{who also built and owned the Highway Drive In Theatre}.... There were maybe 10 or 15 winners a night. The winner selected a numbered envelope hanging on the board for a prize, usually $10 to $25 dollars. {not a bad prize, then}...They frequently gave a prize, maybe a cup or saucer, or even a plate, etc. as a lure to get people in..The theatre was usually very full...Those are very happy memories of a much simpler time.

  2. I remember seeing a ballet at the Pershing Theater.  The stage was large.

    I believe you are thinking of the Avenue Theater....It had a large stage. I don't remember the Pershing theater , formerly the Harris Theater, having a stage. It was a movie theater only. A third theater, the Carleton Theater, was on Long Ave. on or near the site of the historical society. The Civic Concert Association had their programs at the Avenue theater, and they had dance groups, orchestral groups, opera singers, etc. as their programs. As far as I know, they are still having programs at the High school. They had four programs a season. 

  3. That is why you see the water bottles, he like to chew the tops off so we have them laying all over the house.. :rolleyes:

    I found the perfect toy for my dogs....The large dog food bag.  It is tough, they can't shred it...It is big enough....It makes a "crinkle" noise they love...It is colorful......They can wrestle with it.....AND ..it is FREE...when you buy the dog food, of course... :cheer:
