Some interesting stuff involving the Stax Museum will be taking place over the next few weeks.
The Agricenter is honoring Stax's 50th anniversary by designing this year's corn maze in the shape of the Stax "snapping finger" logo. An aerial picture can be seen on Stax's website. Saturday, Sept 15th is the grand opening of the maze where visitors can manuver their way through the maze. Proceeds from this grand opening will benefit the Stax Music Academy. The maze will remain open throughout the month of September & October.
Coming up: Sept 22nd through November 26th, a new exhibit will be opening. "Stax Here And Now: Current Images Of The Stars Of Stax Records" showcases black-and-white & color photographs of legendary Stax Records artists and others from the Memphis soul scene. An opening reception will take place on Sunday, Sept 23 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres & soft drinks are available along with a cash bar.
Stax is offering special guided tours of the Stax Museum with Stax legend Wayne Jackson. Details on the website.

Thanks so much, Carol, for helping spread the word!Sunday the 23rd should be fun and some of the Stax legends featured in the exhibit will be there. And the DJs are great! Hope to see you there!

Thanks, Tim. Stax is doing wonderful things for the community as well as for the city of Memphis. I hope everyone within the MidSouth will take advantage of the interesting exhibits and great concerts at Last Mondays in Studio A. We're more than happy to pass on any event Stax is involved with.
