Real to Reel: North Texas in the Limelight showcases area museums
The Wichita Falls Alliance for Arts and Culture rolls out the red carpet in September for its annual Regional Museum Network Exhibition.
Real to Reel: North Texas in the Limelight will showcase curated collections from 12 area museums highlighting cinematic history in the region and its impact on area communities.
Real to Reel will be on view at the Museum of North Texas History, 720 Indiana, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 2. The museum is open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
This is an opportunity to explore our region’s many connections to Hollywood in one location. From famous stuntmen and actors to filming locations, historic theaters, and more, Real to Reel separates fact from fiction and explores the impact of the film industry across North Texas.
Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum in Nocona is participating with “Urban Cowboy,” and its impact on the sale of cowboy boots.
This is the fourth annual exhibition curated by The Alliance for the Regional Museum Network. For information about this program call (940) 500-4453 or email info@wichitafallsarts.org.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
