Tuesday evening marked the last severe storm we’re likely to see for a while (hopefully), so that means two things: events that canceled from last week’s weather are back this week, and new events are kicking off as well!
If you only do one thing this weekend, make it this one
Sapulpa Community Theatre’s brand new show, “Mom’s Gift,” opens this weekend. Called “a comedy with a heart,” this new production features “Mom,” who passed away 11 months ago, and shows up unexpectedly at her husband’s birthday party as a ghost. The only one who can see her? The estranged daughter who is only there because her anger management classes made her go! Mom has to complete some mysterious task to earn her wings and finish her journey into the afterlife, but what is it? As the family begins to peel back and address the secrets they’re hiding, they reveal a shock that surprises even our ghost! Tickets for Friday’s showing are already sold out, and the other performances are bound to not be far behind. Get tickets now at sapulpatheatre.org.
Other events to watch out for this weekend:
- Thursday, June 19th – Sapulpa Main Street Route 66 Farmers Market (4pm – 7:30pm) is back after being canceled last week due to the rain. Find produce, plants, soaps, salsa and much more at Herald Square (16 S Park)
- Thursday, June 19th – Gasoline Alley Cruise-In (6pm – 8pm) on the corner of Historic Route 66. Join us for an evening of fun with fellow car, truck and motorcycle enthusiasts. We’ll have Muffin Tops A-Bakery selling her delicious fried pies and we’ll have Crumble Stack serving burgers, fries and shakes. Bring your “Kool” rides, appetite and lawn chairs and enjoy the evening with us. 24 N Main in downtown Sapulpa.
- Friday, June 20th – The Elks Lodge will hold their annual Flag Day Ceremony at 9:30am at Herald Square (16 S Park). This event is open to the public and usually features a treat like fried pies or ice cream. Come learn more about the American Flag and its importance through the history of our nation.
- Friday, June 20th – The Sapulpa Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf Tournament has moved to this date after being canceled last week due to the weather. If you’re looking to play or volunteer, get ahold of the chamber and let them know! More details here.
- Saturday, June 21st – Creek County Speedway has been giving free or discounted admission to folks in certain towns all season long, and this weekend, if you live in Coweta, Leonard, Haskell, or Owasso, it’s your lucky day! Get more details about times, prices and who’s racing here.
- Sunday, June 22nd – Your last opportunity this weekend to see “Mom’s Gift,” if you haven’t already. As a general rule, after that first weekend, the second weekend tends to sell out quickly. If you don’t have your tickets yet, get them now at sapulpatheatre.org
