Hello, Spring? Stop hiding and come out
April and spring are here, according to the calendar and the position of the earth to the sun. Yet we continue to have to shovel thanks to the wintery weather we had earlier in the week that forced TCU to call another snow day on Tuesday and the continued cold days.
Despite our crummy weather, there are plenty of activities happening that can keep us busy. Here are a few:
• The Montgomery Library starts one of my favorite events - the annual Book Sale. It starts Saturday, April 7 and runs to Thursday, April 12.
• TCU presents its hilarious spring play, “Haphazardly Ever After” with a funny twist on fairy tales. It plays out Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7 at TCU Middle School Auditorium.
• The Miss Czech Slovak Minnesota Pageant will crown new ambassadors on Saturday, April 14.
• The Arts and Heritage Center will honor Don Rynda at its Heritage Breakfast on Sunday, April 15.
• TCU Community Education will present a Forum on Race on Monday, April 16.
• The Montgomery City-Wide Garage Sales will be Saturday, May 5. To sign up, see the ads in the Messenger, at our website montgomerymnnews.com, or stop in the office to grab a form.
• The city’s annual Clean-Up Day will take place a week after garage sales, on Saturday, May 12 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• TCU spring sports are in full swing, if you can call it that. The weather has made it impossible to get outside and hold events. Many of the spring sports (track and field, baseball, softball, golf, trap shooting) were suppose to hold events this week, but those have all been postponed.
• Next week the Messenger will have its Spring Sports Preview.
