Movie theaters aren’t the only ones showing superheroes this weekend. The city of Carson will showcase Mayhem in the Manor, a play written by local favorite Wilma Laughlin, at the Carson Community building. Laughlin says you will see all your favorite superheroes but not in the typical fashion “It is a light hearted dinner theater with all the superheroes such as Spiderman, Superman and Batman in the nursing home. It is a comical thing with bad guys trying to get the good guys. It is just a light hearted comedy.” 

She says the cast in the play are made up of local actors and actresses, “We are not a super class act theater but we are a fun bunch of people. If you enjoy watching local people, you will have fun with this.” Laughlin has written several plays for Carson events but says the time has come to slow down “These plays are getting to me a little bit. I think this is the last play so if you want to see one more play by me you better come.” 

Mayhem at the Manor will be shown tonight (Friday) and Saturday with doors opening at 6-pm and the show beginning at 6:30-pm. Tickets are on sale for $27 each and include a dinner beforehand. All proceeds go towards the city of Carson placing an electronic Daktronics message board for the Riverside Community. The message board will keep community members up to date on local events, Dreamland Theater movies, school activities and annual town celebrations. Tickets can be purchased by contact the Carson City Hall at 712-484-3636.

A PottawattamieCounty town is filling up its streets with antiques for the entire weekend. The Walnut Antique show began this (Friday) morning and runs through Sunday. Vendors from around the United States will fill up the streets with all types of antiques to buy, sell and trade.

Gene Larson, Post Commander for the Walnut AmVets, whatever you are looking for in antiques will be at the show as the city has 17 blocks full of dealers and are even using a former food stand, the AmVet hall, for more dealers.

Even though one hall now has vendors, food will be in 3 churches and the optimist club will have food too. However, the best way to start your day at the antique show is with a fireman’s breakfast. They will serve at 6-am each day. Even if you aren’t an antique buff, you will enjoy walking around looking at this stuff. The annual Walnut Antique show continues to be a free event with no admission or parking fees and will go on rain or shine until late Sunday afternoon.
