Booths were set up all around the Old Courthouse grounds. Entertainment was at a stage set among the trees.

An original historical play, written for the Yoakum County Centennial by Connie Webb,
was performed by over 70 cast members from the county.
The 3 performances played to a full house each time with a standing ovation for those
who produced and performed in the presentation of "Making Ice Cream When it Hails".
