Money was distributed to beneficiaries at Sue Ellen’s on June 27. Here’s the breakdown of funds: Resource Center Dallas — $5,900; AIDS Arms — $5,400; AIDS Interfaith Network — $5,400; Cedar Springs Merchants Association Beautification Fund — $5,400; Legacy Counseling/Founders Cottage — $5,400; Legal Hospice of Texas — $2,834; Lone Star Ride — $2,833; Youth First Texas — $2,833; Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund — $24,500.

Tip it at tonight's First Wednesday

Posted on

If you’re heading out to tonight’s First Wednesday, plan on having a liquid dinner. Tonight, along with the sidewalk sales, the Cedar Springs Merchants Association hosts a Wine Walk. All you have to do is purchase a Cedar Springs wine glass for five bucks and then hit up the participating stores for some free vino.

And I dare you to yell, “Tip it!” to each vendor along the way. Just be careful about turning that Wine Walk into a Wine Stumble.

Gaying up the place just right sometimes takes an extra week or two.

The Mining Company screens 'Broken Hearts Club' on the patio for free tonight

Posted on

The Cedar Springs Merchant Association continues their Summer Movie Nights tonight with “The Broken Hearts Club” starring Dean Cain and a pre-”Scrubs” Zach Braff. A group of guys come to grips with individual issues through friendship and softball.  Hard to believe this movie is just shy of a decade old. This is the second film in their new series that plays through September 30.

It shouldn’t be too bad out there. The movie screens at 8:45 p.m. and Weather.com forecasts temperature at that time to hover in the low 80s. But I’m no Pete Delkus, of course.
