Ruth Roider will open the Gallery for the Arts with an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, at 115 S. Main St., the former location of Main Street Live.

She said the gallery is for supporting and promoting local artists/artisans. The shop will serve as a display space for artists to sell their works as well as a studio for her.

She hopes to have ceramics, jewelry, photography, paintings, and woodworking pieces, for example.

More than 80 people gathered on the Tundra Friday evening to watch "Frozen," the first Family Fun Night of the summer.

"Toy Story" will be shown free on July 3 at dusk (about 9:15 p.m.). The outdoor movie series is sponsored by the Freed Center for the Performing Arts and Bluffton Hospital.

ReStore sold popcorn, pop, and candy, making the movie-going experience authentic.
"Frozen" was shown on a hot summer day in Ada, but by nightfall the weather was pleasant. It was out with the blankets and lawn chairs to watch the 2013 Disney animated musical fantasy-comedy.
