Stage Coach Days Celebration

June 22, 2018

Plein Air:

The Mantorville Art Guild will once again hold their annual Plein Air event during this years Stage Coach Days. The Plein Air event is an opportunity for artist to showcase their painting and drawings and help promote the artistic community within Mantorville. Contact the Mantorville Art Guild for more information.

Costume & Fashion Show:

One of the more unique offering during the Stage Coach Days celebration is the annual is the Costuming Day and Fashion Show Luncheon. This is a great way to show off your great period attire and promote Historic Mantorville at the same time. Even if you don't have period attire this is a fun event to come down and witness.

Mantorville Melodrama:

The Mantorville Theater Company is presenting one of their melodramas again this weekend. This summer the MTC is presenting scripts written by local writers and entered into their script contest. These are fun theater where audience participation is strongly encouraged. The MTC is also offering a Melodrama Summer Camp, this is a fun way for our younger actors to start learning the fine art of Melodrama performance. Refer to their web site for more information. The MTC web site is www.mantorvillain.com/summer-melodrama-season

Pie Contest:

One of the event I am really looking forward to this year is the pie contest. Local bakers and chefs are busy now preparing yummy pies for this years contest. I along with some other community leaders have been asked to serve as judges. This is always a fun event but very difficult to choose one winner! Come down to Mantorville this Saturday at 11:30 and watch the fun as we try to determine the best pie in Mantorville.

And So Much More:

This years SCD also include a Horse Pull, Live Music, Historic Displays/Exhibits and wrap up with a vintage baseball game on Sunday. I hope to see everyone down in Mantorville this weekend as well celebrate the summer season and our historic heritage.

Yours in Service
