84 THE COASTAL BEND MAGAZINE • Late Summer 2018 TheCoastalBend.com MustangFest to return in Oct. After taking a couple of years off, the annual (Ford) Mustang run from Oklahoma, through Texas and on to Port Aransas will return in October. The sight of dozens and dozens of Mustangs, from the 1960’s through the current model year, travel- ing in a caravan is something you’ll never forget. Starting in Oklahoma City, the caravan picks up drivers at some 20 stops along the southerly route down IH-35 all the way to San Antonio, where the group stops to party before completing the last leg to their metaphorical home, Mustang Island. Drivers will arrive at Plantation Suites the afternoon of Friday October 5th and the full car show, ride, auction barbecue and other events will take place on Saturday October 6th. Great fun for car enthusiasts of all ages! MustangFest.com The Full Monty at PACT in Sept. Thurs Sept 20–Sun Sept 30: The Broadway musical based on the hit cult film of the same name, The Full Monty Musical is an American version of the story told in the 1997 British film. The plot centers on a group of steelworkers in Buffalo, New York, who end up spying on their wives enthusiastically enjoying a Chippendales male strip show. Not to be outdone, and motivated by an underlying sense of jealousy, the men put together their own stripper act in an effort to impress and endear themselves to their wives. This production is the comeback performance for the Port Aransas Community Theater, which will welcome its first audiences since restoring the theater after last year’s Hurricane Harvey. 2327 TX Hwy 361 • (361) 749-6036 • PortAransasCommunityTheater.com
