MLK festivities continue this weekend in Seguin Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- The weather may slow down Monday’s plans to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day in Seguin, but that won’t be the case for the rest of the long weekend. The Seguin MLK Day Planning Committee says freezing temperatures have led to the cancellation of Monday’s Freedom March and MLK Observance in Central Park. But all the events scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are still on as planned. Two events are planned for 6:30 p.m. Friday. The first will be the Seguin ISD’s Musical Showcase in the Seguin High School Performing Arts Center. MLK committee member Linda Schuler says students from across the district will be showing off their talents as part of the event. She says you should come early, because there’s usually a packed house for this event. “The first time we had it, we were at the (Seguin) Coliseum, and we had set up 300 chairs. We eventually had to put out 200
more chairs, because the people really came out and supported it. It’s gotten bigger and bigger and bigger each year, which I am happy for, because we needed something for the kids and that was the reason basically why I wanted to start this choir showcase,” said Schuler. The Black Entrepreneurs Networking event will also be held on Friday night. The event, held in Tschoepe Hall at Texas Lutheran University, is a chance for businesspeople to get to know one another in an informal setting. Committee member Regina Lee says even though both events start at 6:30, they feel like they will attract two very different audiences. “We understand that it kind of seems like a conflict, but Friday night belongs to the kids. There are a lot of people in our community who don’t have children, or their children are gone away from home. So, maybe you have to mix and match, and decide what you want to do, but hopefully, MLK, pg. 3
