SPORTS
Let's talk a little golf, a little football, a little softball. First, the City is hosting a golf tournament at the Municipal course the end of the month as well as registration for fall recreational softball. But if golf is your sport sign up for these upcoming tournaments: 21st Annual ExxonMobil March of Dimes Tournament, Bridge City Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament and the Silsbee Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament. If high school football is your passion, we've got ALL the area games listed here, just pull down high school football from the menu. AND, before you move from the sports section, don't forget to get your football tickets for Lamar Cardinals big season after 21 years!
ENTERTAINMENT
Sit back and be entertained every Wednesday at Beer, Barbecue and the Best of Everything or at the Dixie Dance Hall for their concert series featuring Bart Crow and Bomshel or their swimsuit competition. There's a Salsa Social at City Dance and Salsa at the club formerly known as Antone's on Crockett Street, an Empowerment Expo, a Spanish Speakers' Book Club and the Hub has Thomas Cokinos/Decadence every Saturday as well as the Auxiliaries benefiting Habitat for Humanity and the SETX Food Bank. First United Methodist Church is hosting the Blackwood Brothers Quartet this month and Spindletop Steakhouse has not only great drink and eats specials on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but you can be highly entertained and fed during Chef Chuck Harris' cooking class this month.
There will be a lot of back to school shopping this month which may not be considered entertaining but perusing Burns Antik Haus at 2195 Calder is especially since Burns has original local art on display including Rosie Burge and Joey Blazek.
