TUNE IN NEXT WEEK: When our theme will be "Father's Day!"  Bring your heroic patriarch, whether they are the 1950's pipe-smoking, cardigan wearing father, or the 1990's flannel-wearing, hard-working dad you grew up with!  This week is Dad's time to shine!

Also, a programming note: There will NOT be a costume contest the following week, June 22, as we'll have the Summer Block Party that Saturday!
