Belton is getting a new mural.
As part of the Belton Area Chamber of Commerce Leadership Belton program, one of this year’s teams is leading an effort to bring a large-scale public mural to the exterior of the Belton Public Library in downtown Belton. The mural is intended to reflect the heart of our community and create a lasting visual landmark.
The mural will be professionally designed and painted by the muralist team Laced and Found and created specifically for Belton.
This is a fully community-funded project.
The team is currently raising $25,000 to cover artist fees, materials, equipment, and installation. The project has already received early community support, and the team is grateful for those who have stepped forward.
Those who would like to be part of this meaningful community initiative are invited to learn more.
More details are available at: https://beltonmural.com

Pop in anytime between 1 PM and 7 PM and go frolicking across our 6 acres like a joyful little leprechaun! Every purchasing guest gets the chance to hunt for the Golden Bottle—and if you find it, you’ll snag a free bottle of wine (and eternal bragging rights).
But this Golden Bottle is a sneaky one…
Will you be the lucky duck who catches it?
Is it chilling on the patio, soaking up the sun?
Kicked back in the lounge like it owns the place?
Or did it wander off into the vineyard for a dramatic, slow‑motion hiding spot?
Only one way to find out—follow the giggles, trust your luck, and let the silliness guide you.
On your quest for the Golden Bottle, you might stumble upon a lucky four‑leaf clover.
But here’s the twist—do you keep the clover and claim its mysterious reward… or do you press on in hopes of capturing the legendary Golden Bottle?
Choose wisely, wine adventurer—luck can be a trickster!”

Temple Civic Theatre presents: Cabaret
In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.

Temple Civic Theatre presents: Rodgers & Hammerstein's ~ Oklahoma!
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.
