Making Ice Cream When it Hails

USGenWeb >> TXGenWeb >> Yoakum County >> County Histories >> Making Ice Cream When it Hails

On July 7, 2007 we attended a preliminary event concerning the Yoakum County Centennial celebration. It was a production of the historical drama titled "Making Ice Cream When it Hails". It was written by our friend Connie Webb and we can only say that it was the best production of its kind that we have ever seen. It depicted the history of Yoakum County over the past one hundred years with many short skits based on actual historical events. Outstanding!!

And we have seen that much of the moving force behind this production was another very fine lady named Linda Powell. These two outstanding persons deserve a double "standing ovation".

This recording of Yoakum County history will occupy a prominent place in our archives. Two more presentations are scheduled - on August 4 it will be presented at The Old Settlers Reunion in Plains and then on September 1 it will be presented at the Watermelon Roundup. We are planning to see it again.
