Reminiscing 25 Years at the Palace
By Marcy HorstWe’ve had a whirlwind holiday at the Palace Theatre! Phew. I’ve got popcorn coming out my ears! So many of you came to the movies to end 2024 and begin 2025 – which is the absolute best way to support your local cinema!I know for a fact that while some may have felt an unadulterated loathing for the musical extravaganza and only attended “Wicked” to please a significant other, many of you journeyed to Oz for the second or third time, and a few of you attended “Wicked” twice at our theatre this past weekend. The Cedar River Whalers AND Todd Frank & Mark Clark in Garrison!
The Cedar River Whalers will be performing at Farmers Mercantile Hall on Sunday, January 19th with some Americana, Bluegrass, Originals and Old-Time Country music! Todd Frank and Mark Clark will be there as well, playing some Woody Guthrie music. This will be a great show! Refreshments will be provided by the Garrison Library for a donation.

Vinton Women’s Club honored Julie Zimmer and Lu Karr as “Women of the Year 2000” and the city gave them “Keys to the City.” Drew Mason nominated both women for a Humanities Iowa Distinguished Service award which they received at a ceremony in Des Moines. This photo is from the Women’s Club evening.—-By Marcy Horst I'm changing my topic schedule again this week - digital cinema is coming - I promise! However, I believe a fundraising update is due.
