The great taste of a banana split will harmonize with discount subscription prices on Friday to provide a powerful incentive to visit the Southern Standard office.
The newspaper will be celebrating the official start of summer in our traditional fashion with free banana splits, drawings for door prizes, and savings on subscriptions.
“We’ve found free ice cream is a popular way to get people to stop by our office,” said Standard publisher Patricia Zechman. “Members of our staff love ice cream too. It’s definitely a day we all enjoy, both for the ice cream and for visiting with members of the community.”
Free banana splits will be served today from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Door prizes to be given away are a gas grill, cooler, and ice cream maker.
It’s also a time for us to go bananas with our subscription prices. You can get the Standard delivered to your home for one year for the low price of $68. That’s just 44 cents an issue, a huge savings from the $1.25 regular price on Sundays.
Discount rates are also available for 6-month, 3-month, and online subscriptions.

The next installment of The Park Theater’s Local Connection Concert Series is set to take center stage this Saturday, April 5 with Tito Gomez.

The Local Connection Concert Series put on The Park Theater focuses on talent sourced from the community. Gomez began his music career 14 years ago with a local band and has since released his solo album, “Lo Que Habia Soñado,” in 2016. He was born in Los Angeles, California but is well-known in the Warren County community as Victor Gomez.

Saturday night’s show will entail the singer-songwriter’s regional Mexican music, such as “El Oscar” or “Soy Edgar,” which is Gomez’s most popular song on Spotify.

The show begins at 7 p.m. and is expected to last approximately two hours. General admission is $15 and tickets can be purchased on Park Theater’s website, mcminnvilleparktheater.com, by phone at (931) 506-2787 or at its box office during normal business hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. If available, a limited number of tickets may be purchased at the door on the day of the event, while supplies last.
