The Morning Report – Friday, 5/24/2013 The TGIF, Memorial Day weekend, Transisition in to Summer Edition

memorialday1

Happy Memorial Day weekend! We transition into summer, and there are lots to do this 3 day weekend!

I have to admit, I could have done more to get ready for this weekend.

I read this article and sat around and didn’t do anything about it. I wonder how things are going to go for this project?

I’m very excited about this time of year. It could very well be my favorite time of the year. Lots to see and do. Let’s check out some activities:

NG_24POLKAFEST_25211479

For my friends in Ennis: POLKA PALOOZA (MAY 24-26) – Head to the 47th annual National Polka Festival in Ennis, running Friday through Sunday. There’ll be a dance contest, arts and crafts, Czech food, 5K and 10K runs, a parade, a kolache-eating contest and 14 polka bands including local favorites Brave Combo.

MUSIC-BILLBOARD_AWARDS-NOMINEES_30776029

THINK SWIFT (MAY 25): She’s a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, and a whole lotta star power. See Taylor Swift in concert on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The 23-year-old has sold more than 10 million CDs and her latest, 2012′s Red, brought her into more mature territory in terms of songwriting and performance.

FAMBRIEFS_DALLASARBORETUMPETTING_ZOO_31124872

Celebrate Memorial Day at the Arboretum. Dallas native and kiddie fave Eddie Coker will perform two of his signature high-energy concerts on Monday, and the family fun also includes face painting, arts and crafts, and a petting zoo.

(MAY 26): If you’re in the mood for “food fight bliss,” attend Tomato Fight Dallas, with up to 100,000 pounds of overripe tomatoes being tossed about. There’ll also be live music, a costume contest, and beer for ages 21 and over. It’s at Fair Park on Saturday from noon to 6. Enter through Gate 15.

It’s the last weekend of Scarborough Fair in Waxahachie. Hope to see you there!

May 27: Free Admission to the Amon Carter Museum for Active Military PersonnelThe Amon Carter Museum of American Art will honor military personnel by again participating in the Blue Star Museums program in partnership with Blue Star Families, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and more than 1,500 museums across America.

The Blue Star program allows free museum admission to active-duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Because admission is always free to the Amon Carter, the museum is offering a free souvenir book. This special gift is extended to both active-duty and retired military personnel when they visit from May 27 to September 2.

Amon Carter Museum, 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd., Ft. Worth, TX 76107. 817-989-5065

And finally, I have tried to organize a Tribute to the Fallen on Facebook, and I hope you got an invitation from me for this event on Memorial Day. If you did not, please consider joining us at the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery to pay our respects to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for you and me.

Whatever your plans are for this Memorial Day, I would encourage all Americans to stop for just a moment, and pay tribute to our heroes. Thank you!

Sneak peek: Memorial Day cap, uniform

dal_r_rangers-uni_mb_300

Major League Baseball will honor the military on Memorial Day and part of that includes some newly-designed caps and jerseys featuring an authentic military digital camouflage. The Rangers play two games on Memorial Day (Monday) in a scheduled doubleheader against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

MLB will donate 100 percent of its net proceeds from sales of the caps and jerseys to Welcome Back Veterans, an initiative of MLB charities that provides grants to hospitals that treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

At 3 p.m. local time, games around baseball will stop for a moment of silence on Memorial Day.

Rangers release Derek Lowe, sign Mark Teahen

Derek Lowe

Derek Lowe, who was designated for assignment by the Rangers earlier this week, has been released after passing through waivers unclaimed. This could be the end for Lowe, who hasn’t posted an ERA under 5.00 since 2010 and allowed 13 runs in 13 innings in a low-leverage relief role for the Rangers at age 40.

Texas also announced the signing of Mark Teahen, who was released by the Diamondbacks last week after an agreed upon trade to the Reds fell through over health issues. He’ll head to Triple-A and try to play his way back to the majors for the first time since 2011.
