What is going on this week in Conroe? 

Did you miss opening weekend for “Butterflies are Free”? No worries! You have two more weekends-Friday, June 28 through Sunday, July 7th. This is a non-musical about a blind man living alone in an apartment against the wishes of his protective mother. He connects with the lady next door, and they begin a relationship to his mother’s dismay. It is a love story that is both funny and emotional. OwenTheatre.com for tickets. 

Are you or someone you know a mom or stepmom of a child serving in the military please consider joining the Spring Creek Area Blue Star Mothers. They meet to do volunteer service to Veterans, the community, promote patriotism, and to assist in efforts to help our country remain strong. Monthly meetings to coordinate efforts are at a local restaurant or a member’s home. The next meeting will be June 24 at 6:00pm at Burger Fresh and More, located at 804 Gladstell, in Conroe. Guests are always welcome. More information on their Facebook page: SpringCreekAreaBlueStarMothers. 

The 4th annual Freedom Fest in downtown Conroe will start at 11:00am Saturday, June 29th with many activities for the family and FREE admission! Water slides, axe throwing, obstacle courses, live music, shopping, and so much more. Stay for the 3rd annual Stars and Stripes Celebration hosted by the City of Conroe from 6:00pm-9:30pm at Heritage Park. Free parking around the downtown area or in the parking garages.

Not downtown, but worth the trip across the San Jacinto River bridge to hear a free concert by the Houston Symphony playing the music of Pink Floyd on Wednesday, June 26 at 7:00pm. The concert is free, and the sound effects will be surreal. 

The Crighton Theatre is pleased to present their last show of the season, “Beauty and the Beast,” weekends July 5- 21 with many seats selling quickly.
