Lamesa Community Players Presents

Wait Until Dark March 31, April 1 & April 2

Tickets are available Monday through Friday

from 4 - 6pm and 2 hours before curtain times. Tickets are $10.00 each and we accept cash,

check and credit cards.

Each year wildfires pose a significant threat for

Texas communities. High winds and dry

conditions can set the stage for potentially

severe fires. In the past 10 years, wildfires

burned over 9.3 million acres statewide. No

region of the state is immune to wildfires.

Wildfires continue to threaten people and

property across Texas. People and their activities

cause more than 90% of all wildfires in Texas.

The largest number of human-caused wildfires

are a result of careless debris burning. Other

causes of wildfires include sparks from welding

and grinding equipment, carelessly discarded

smoking materials, vehicles exhaust systems and

arson. With the winds and warmer temperatures

approaching please be aware of the fire dangers

and do your part to help prevent wildfires.
