Girl Scouts
95th Anniversary Celebrated at The Dixie
This year marks the 95th anniversary
of the founding of Girl Scouting and the 49th anniversary of the Reelfoot Girl Scouts Council. The Reelfoot Council currently
serves 5500+ girls and 1000 adults throughout 18 Counties in
West Tennessee. In honor of this anniversary, The Dixie will
present “Patchwork” The Little House Quilts of Laura Ingalls
Wilder – a biographical play about the pioneer life of Laura
Ingalls Wilder – on Saturday, May 12th. Tickets are still
available for the 4:00 p.m. show at $10/ticket. There is no
reserved seating for this event; tickets may be purchased on a
first-come, first-serve basis at The Dixie Box Office the day of
the show ONLY.
Laura Ingalls Wilder’s tales of outdoor adventure and pioneer
spirit have been inspiring boys and girls for over 70 years.
Born in 1868, Laura traveled across America’s rolling plains,
all the while creating patchwork quilts that related the same
adventures that would later inspire her time-honored books.
Laura’s quilts still exist today, and their patterns recall her
beloved family – her strong and caring Pa, he heroic sister
Mary, and her warm-hearted Ma. Laura crossed the wild and often
perilous frontier in the back of a covered wagon. Join the
Ingalls as they face the hardships, the triumphs, the wonder and
the faith that sustained their journey across the American
frontier.
