Mom and Dad were out here this past weekend to visit.  I was on call, so unfortunately I was gone quite a bit of the time.  We did get a couple of pinochle games in, but the guys won all 3… we gals could just not get a good hand between us.  I also bent their ears about my theater idea and took them on a half walking/half driving tour of main street to look at the old buildings.  They agreed that the outside of the theater looked pretty rough, and unfortunately isn’t really a very interesting “historic” building anyway.  We also stopped at the little museum in town.  One of the ladies that volunteers there was a wealth of information and we really enjoyed that trip.  We bought the first of two books about the history of Jerauld county and Wessington Springs (goes to 1980, I’ll probably get the update 1980 to 2005 pretty soon).  It was a fascinating book, Dad had the thing almost read by the time they left.  Then yesterday at the regular SACC (Springs Area Community Club, aka the old Kiwanis club) meeting I talked a little about theater ideas and had quite a bit of interest (and a fair number of naysayers too).  I prodded Matthew into making me a website and he did:  it’s now at springscinema.com.
