The theme for this year's parade is "Jailhouse Rock". This celebration began in 1879 and remains the oldest, continuous west of the Mississippi River. Be sure to spend the day on the square with family and friends! The earliest celebrations were composed largely of local families traveling by foot, horseback, and wagons to a large grove just north of town to enjoy the day with friends and neighbors. People would gather together early to clear the underbrush, preparing and smoothing the grounds for lemonade, soda pop, popcorn, crackerjacks, and candy stands. Wood was also cut and hauled to a huge pit where beef, pork, and chicken were roasted for the celebration. Although many years have passed, family, friends, and neighbors still travel to Marshfield to enjoy this Independence Day celebration, eat a corn dog or a sandwich from one of the many food vendors, and have an ice cold lemonade or soda pop similar to those early celebrations. Register online today to participate in this year's Independence Day Parade and Celebration!

This league will run much like our Limited Leagues have run. Main difference, however, will be the decks are constructed rather than limited. Decks are a 60 card minimum and will (some will be available for rent for those wanting to try the format first) adhere to the current MTG banned/restricted list. This is the first time we'll have run this format in this fashion, so we may need to adjust some items after the first season. Seasons will run for 4 weeks. Cost will be $5 per week. The event will take place on Monday nights starting at 6:30 and running until 10. Can't make it at 6:30 one week, no problem...come anyway, you'll still have the opportunity to play and earn points for that week (no buys awarded). Players will earn points and those points will accumulate over the 4 weeks. 1 point for a loss, 2 points for a win. We will hopefully get 4 rounds in each night. Each round will work as normal (best 2 out of 3). Prize pool will be determined by the number of people attending each week, so will continue to grow. Pool will be paid out in Store Credit. Payout at the end of the league will be based on the total number of players during the league. [Example: 18 people have signed up and played at least one game in the season, top 1/3 people (in this case 6) will receive a portion of the pool. Assuming all 18 played the full season, that's $216 in the prize pool. Amounts will be determined by the point value of those 6 players. Let's say points for the to 6 players totals 720. That's $.30/point. If you had 210 points (210 x .30 = $63 credit.) And that's the details. Fulbright Springs Walking Group @ Fullbright Springs, Spfd, MO starting at 4 pm. Meet at the Community Bldg to wak the neighnorhood. Tread, Shed and Build @ Diventures Springfield, Spfd, MO starting at 7 pm. This is a wonderful experience in the deep end of the pool.

Reservations are recommended but tables are often available with short notice. Call ahead to ensure that you get a table. Creative Escape Glass LLC is a fused glass open studio where you can make your own pieces! Open studio hours mean you get to learn glass cutting basics and fused glass basics on demand - you walk-in, we teach you, you make a project. There is no cost for a studio tour and for a basic glass cutting workshop. If you want to make a piece to take home with you, popular projects start at $17 and go up from there based on the size of the project and materials used. Average project cost is $34. Pieces are normally ready to pick up within a week, or shipping is available for an additional fee. Children 12+ can normally do an independent project, kids 8-11 may need an adult assistant, 7 and younger definitely need a one-on-one adult assistant. Young children not involved in the creation process are not a good idea since the front of the studio is full of breakables and the back of the studio is full of sharp edges, all within easy reach. Neither of you will have fun if you must spend your time trying to keep them away from pretty, shiny objects. Rational Cooking Live @ Fellers Food Service Equipment, Spfd, MO starting at 12 noon.

Wednesday 24th Country’s Best Concert Series: David Lee Murphy @ ClubRodeo Springfeld starting at 5 pm. Million-selling singer- songwriter David Lee Murphy had no plans to make a new record until a country superstar made them for him. “I’ve been friends and written songs with Kenny (Chesney) for years,” Murphy reflects. “I sent him some songs for one of his albums a couple of years ago, and he called me up. He goes, ‘Man, you need to be making a record. I could produce it with Buddy
JUly 2019 Page 40 of 53
Cannon, and I think people would love it.’ It’s hard to say no to Kenny Chesney when he comes up with an idea like that.” Murphy, whose songs “Dust on the Bottle and “Party Crowd” continue to be staples at country radio, could have easily filled the album with hits he’s written for Chesney (“’Til It’s Gone,” “Living in Fast Forward,” “Live a Little”), Jason Aldean (“Big Green Tractor,” “The Only Way I Know How”), Thompson Square (GRAMMY-nominated “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not”), Jake Owen (“Anywhere With You”), or Blake Shelton (“The More I Drink”). But, Chesney had other ideas. “Kenny was really influential in the songs that we picked,” says Murphy. “Over the course of the next year or so, we got together, talked about it and picked out songs. I wanted to record songs of mine that people haven’t heard before, that are new. We wanted to make the kind of album that you would listen to if you were camping or out on a lake, fishing. Or sitting anywhere, just having a good time.” Titled No Zip Code, the new David Lee Murphy collection has already yielded a hit single and duet with Chesney, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.” The collection also contains such good-time, party-hearty anthems as “Get Go,” “Haywire” and “That’s Alright.” The rocking “Way Gone” is a female-empowerment barn burner. “Winnebago” invites a lover to a rural retreat. The hooky, retro sounding “Voice of Reason” is about a ne’er-do-well running off the rails time and again. The infectious, up-tempo “I Won’t Be Sorry” is about living life to the fullest and going out with a bang. In “Waylon and Willie,” a broken-hearted lover nurses nostalgia for good times that have departed. “As the Crow Flies” promises a loving reunion from a wandering soul. “No Zip Code” is a fantasy about a life lived far from the world’s problems. These songs reconnect us with an artist who was a pioneer of the edgy, rocking style that now dominates modern country music. David Lee Murphy developed his musical style as a teenager in Southern Illinois. Although both parents were schoolteachers, he was an indifferent student. Instead of studying books, he studied the sounds of such “outlaw” country musicians as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. He was also deeply influenced by southern rock bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers and Z.Z. Top. Thursday 25th Kansas @ Ozark Empire Fair, Spfd, MO starting at 7:30 pm.

This and many other projects can also be made during our Open Studio time on Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. Creative Escape Glass LLC is a fused glass open studio where you can make your own pieces! Open studio hours mean you get to learn glass cutting basics and fused glass basics on demand - you walk-in, we teach you, you make a project. You can come anytime during open studio hours to get started, and plan on spending 1-3 hours of making time depending on the project you choose. Reservations are recommended but tables are often available with short notice. Call ahead to ensure that you get a table. Go to our Facebook page to get details on this week's project. There is no cost for a studio tour and for a basic glass cutting workshop. If you want to make a piece to take home with you, projects start at $5 and go up from there based on the size of the project and materials used. Average project cost is $34. Pieces are normally ready to pick up within a week, or shipping is available for an additional fee. Children 12+ can normally do an independent project, kids 8-11 may need an adult assistant, 7 and younger definitely need a one-on-one adult assistant. Young children not involved in the creation process are not a good idea since the front of the studio is full of breakables and the back of the studio is full of sharp edges, all within easy reach. Neither of you will have fun if you must spend your time trying to keep them away from pretty, shiny objects.
