The City of Magazine is gearing up for an action-filled weekend with family-friendly events that you won’t want to miss.
The weekend kicks off at the Magazine High School Cafeteria at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 28 with the “Student Chef Showdown” sponsored by K-12 Culinary Connection and Magazine Schools.
Students in grades 9-12 have signed up to participate in this exciting challenge where they will have 1 hour to prepare their dish using pre-selected ingredients. Judges will score each dish on Taste, Creativity, and Presentation, and winners will move on to compete against other school districts in the state. This is sure to be an exciting competition!
Following the Student Chef Showdown bring your appetites to the Magazine Elementary Cafeteria where First Western Bank will be serving up the annual Homecoming Dinner starting at 5 p.m. This year’s dinner menu will be spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, drink, and dessert. The cost is $8 for adults and $5 for kids under 12. Dine-in or take-out will be available. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Magazine Tire and Auto or at First Western Bank.
As the sun sets on Friday evening, bring your lawn chairs or blankets to the Hank Store City Park for an outdoor showing of Disney’s “Hocus Pocus,” presented by the South Logan County Boys and Girls Club. Hot Cocoa, popcorn, and candy will be available for a donation to the club.
Make sure to get a good night’s rest because the Magazine Homecoming Parade will begin at 9:00 am on Saturday, October 29th. The parade will begin at Diamondback Arena and end at the fire station. Immediately following the parade, dozens of food, craft, and farm goods vendors will be set-up at the Hank Stone City Park until 2 p.m. There will be live music, games and activities for the kids, a Cornhole Tournament, and more!
This will be a fun-filled weekend everyone can enjoy. Don’t miss it!
