Men in Black 3 – Midnight Showings

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Agents J and K are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Michael McLean’s touching Christmas tale has become a timeless classic. It tells the story of a nurse whose empty life is changed by her patient, John, who expands her understanding of Christmas. The Forgotten Carols are original songs from the perspective of characters such as the innkeeper who turned the young couple away or the shepherd who slept through the angel’s announcement. Their personal accounts, until now, have been overlooked or ignored. Together, John and Constance discover what the world has forgotten about Christmas.

Ida Hendrickson, Whistlin Bit Saddle Club

Sunday’s 63rd Annual Whistlin’ Bit Trail Ride is dedicated to the memory of Ida Hendrickson This year’s 63rd Annual Whistlin’ Bit trail ride is being dedicated to the memory of Ida Hendrickson of Elkader, who passed away this summer.

The trail ride is scheduled Sunday October, 9, and will begin 2 miles east of Garber on C7X then 1 mile north on Ironwood Road.

Ida Hendrickson was an avid horse lover and rider. She had served as board secretary-treasurer, historian of the local Whistlin ’Bit Saddle Club for many years. She was an advocate for the Elkader Municipal Horse Barn & Pony Hollow Trail. She shared her love for horses with many. She helped many learn to ride and take care of their horses. She was a regular participant in the Whistlin’ Bit trail rides.

We will all miss Ida, her smile and good nature, but her memory will live on.

The Whistlin’ Bit’s largest event is the Annual Ride held on the second Sunday of October each year. The ride begins at 11:00 with a local organization providing a lunch stand at the halfway point. This ride has been known to draw up to 800+ riders from Iowa as well as neighbor states, countries and as far away as Texas, Oklahoma, New Zealand and Norway. In Ida’s memory saddle up and join us!
