MovieNight
DECEMBER 11th:
Due to subtitling issues, the movie Santo & Blue Demon v. Dr. Frankenstein is being rescheduled for the January date. On December 11th, we will be screening La Pastorela:The Shepherd's Tale directed by Luis Valdez.
La Pastorela is a musical retelling of the classical story of the shepherd's journey to Bethlehem with a Tex-Mex twist. We see the tale through the eyes of a modern young girl, the oldest child in a large rural Tex-Mex family. During a surrealistic dream, which brings to mind "The Wizard of Oz," the young Chicana makes a fantastical journey with the shepherds and along the way witnesses the triumph of God's Angels over Satan's diablos. Directed by the father of modern Chicano film and theater, Luis Valdez, this film is full of drama, comedy, fantasy and plenty of Spanglish!
The Locals Movie Night 2019-2020 Season: one down, three to go!

Juicy Lucy
Once upon an amazing time there were 3 women friends who loved the plants and animals and stones of Earth, loved the splashes of color in all the growing, blooming things, loved the music of the sky by day and night and loved to gather weekly to share their dreams and dramas. The 3 women found that this love they had for life began to change them from the inside out. They got bolder and louder and juicier and helped each other think new thoughts and imagine new possibilities.

Scratch
A project that began as a summer church fundraiser soon turned into a hobby for me, and now I make and sell my oilcloth aprons and bibs at a variety of venues and craft fairs, one of which brought me to The Locals.
Being in my kitchen is something else I enjoy and am currently selling some of my jams, jellies, and bread here at The Locals. I make my jellies and jams from locally grown fruit, and all of my jelly is made from juice I make myself, with the exception of my wine jelly, which is made from homemade muscadine wine. My breads are made using a sourdough starter that was given to me in 2006.
