onnie & Clyde Days celebrates more than when Hollywood came to Pilot Point back in 1967. It commemo-rates the spirit of the Great Depression in North Texas back in the 1930’s – a time when people pulled together.

The 2011 version of Bonnie & Clyde Days could not have happened without three groups pulling together.

The first are our sponsors. Main Street’s event budget comes exclusively from their generous support. Without

their support Bonnie & Clyde Days would have never been developed. I never feel so gratified as when a sponsor indicates through their funding of our efforts that they not only believe in what we are doing but also want to be associ-ated with the result.

Second, some wonderful groups - spe-cifically – The University of North Texas Radio, Television and Film Department under the leadership of Phyllis Slocum and the energetic students of ntTV-

North Texas Television, the student-run television station. Also, the Model A Ford Club of Dallas – the nation’s larg-est and, from my experience, the best run Model A Ford Club in the coun-try. These groups have no stake in Pilot Point. I would like to feel that they see the potential in our town and the im-portant role they can play in making the day really come to life. Their participa-tion is essential.

Third, are the many volunteers - too

numerous to name - who never the less should be recognized for their enthusi-asm, creativity and patience. My only role is to set things in motion. It is the volunteers who make things happen.

With these three groups pulling together and donating their funds, their unique assets and their time make Bon-nie & Clyde Days a wonderful occasion.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Bruce Thomas

How many Texas towns double as famous movie locations? Pilot Point got its taste of Hollywood in 1967, when stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway came to town to shoot the movie Bonnie & Clyde. Many locals were extras and locations in and around Pilot Point were chosen for the authentic 1930s flavor they gave to the gangster adventure film

Nowadays, Pilot Point remembers its silver screen history and the strength of the community that survived the Great Depression with an annual Bonnie and Clyde Days celebration. This year’s celebration is on Saturday, October 8th from 10 am until 5:00 pm.

Pilot’s Point’s Town Square will turn into a piece of living history, with events such as a Model A car parade, peanut and cotton growing demonstrations, and talks by experts about what life was like in the 1930s. Many locals and visitors wear authentic costumes, and kids are always fascinated by Hooverville, a historically accurate recreation of a 1930s shantytown. Those kids can also play games of the era and even attend an

old fashioned Saturday Matinee complete with cartoons, serials and short subjects that were the hit of movie houses in the 30’s.

Actors from the drama department with the help of the television and film department of the University of North Texas will re-enact the famous robbery scene from Bonnie and Clyde at the Merchants & Farmers Bank Building. Filming is set to start at 11 a.m., and anyone who wants to dress up in 1930s-era costumes can try out to be an extra.

The Model A Ford Club of Dallas will kick off the day with a parade of vintage Ford Model A’s. There will also be a Classic Car Show for car lovers. A Homemade Market will feature baked goods and crafts that could have been for sale back when Bonnie and Clyde roamed North Texas.

New for this year is a Soap Box Challenged organized by the Cabinet Makers of Pilot Point. The cabinet industry is the backbone of the Pilot Point. These skilled craftsmen will turn skills to making the fastest downhill racer for kids ages 7 – 12. Companies, individuals and

organizations are all encouraged to enter racers.

To get all the details for entering a racer in the soapbox

challenge, or to have a booth at the Homemade Market visit Pilot Point’s web site http:www.cityofpilotpoint.org.

The city of Pilot Point is welcoming back the story of that infamous Texas couple, Bonnie & Clyde to its historic downtown by re-enacting a scene shot by NTTV, the University of North Texas student-run television station.

It is all part of a day-long event taking place during the city’s Bonnie & Clyde Days, where the 1930’s era festivities include a celebration of the city’s role in the original Warren Beatty movie.

Volunteer students from NTTV and the UNT vocal department all prepared months in advance to once again present the memorable and thrilling bank robbery scene.

It is the second time in a row NTTV was chosen to do the project. Bruce Thomas, Main Street Director of Pilot Point initially approached UNT’s RTVF Department to help revitalize the downtown area by doing a “simple” project. Instead, it took a life of its own and went above and beyond expectations.

“What I envisioned was just using their television people to sort of act like a film crew,” said Thomas. “It was funny because last year was much, much better than I anticipated. The only criticism was that the people wanted more!”

Doing the production of the bank robbery scene last year was a first for the student-run station.

“It was an unfamiliar territory for all of us since it was not our average shoot,” recalls executive producer Adam Hasley. “That new thing is what I feel made it that much more successful and we all left with such a strong bond.”

An average of 20-30 students are expected to take part in this wide-scale event. With a turnout of almost 2500 festival goers last year, expectations have gone up increasing the size of the production with additional elements such as props, actors, and scripts. The plan this year is to do two additional scenes alongside the bank robbery scene

as part of the event schedule.“It gives the students something

for them to really hang their hat on, not just a school T.V. production, but a real project,” said Thomas.

Students know that besides showcasing the impact of the iconic scene filmed in the area, they are able to partake in a program that can help their future career in the industry.

“I understand that the relationship with professional people is a good thing to have, and doing projects inside of NTTV is cool but it’s another level to go outside,” said production manager Noah Sargent. “I’m hoping that it’s one of many things for students to attain opportunities and even challenge my organization in some ways.”

The immediate gratification, relationships, and experience are some of the reasons returning and new volunteers will be in attendance.

“I honestly hope that I could get the experience and be able to look back afterwards as a team and say it was a huge success,” said Hasley. “Just that feeling of relief after putting all this time and effort and seeing people’s faces light up is by far the best feeling you can get.”

New changes for this year include participation from other student organizations of UNT. According to Hasley, the actors are being cast from the theatre department, music supplied by vocal students from the music department, and supplies such as water from UNT’s Office of Sustainability.

Bonnie & Clyde Days will be held throughout the day on October 8th. Aside from witnessing several reenactments, visitors are also treated to a classic car show, parade, and a soapbox challenge that results in trophies and awards.

One of the most important yet understated parts of the economic backbone of Pilot Point is the cabinetmaking industry. Over several decades Pilot Point has become the cabinet making mecca for North Texas. It’s very important yet hardly noticed. These craftsmen go about their

business quietly with no visible sign to the public except for a sign or two on 377 or the occasional trailer that goes through town.

The cabinetmaking industry has come up with an event that will change that visibility. Bruce Thomas, who in addition to being Main Street Director, is also

involved from an administrative standpoint with the Economic Development Corporation. He was meeting with Buster Chandler, owner of Chandler Cabinets and a new member of the EDC. They were discussing two areas of interest. Bruce was interested in more things for kids to do during Bonnie and Clyde Days in October. Buster was interested in making his industry more visible to the citizens and public officials at City Hall. “Economic Development usually focuses on attracting new companies. How about companies that are already here?”, was Buster’s observation.

Together they struck upon a win-win solution. The cabinetmakers would organize, execute and participate in a Soap Box Challenge as part of Bonnie & Clyde Days.

“The first ever “Soap Box Derby” was created in 1933 in Dayton, Ohio at the height of the Great Depression,” Thomas noted, “That made it perfect for Bonnie & Clyde Days as an added thing for kids to do.”

“The cabinetmakers of Pilot Point have really rallied to the cause.”Buster Chandler added, “People don’t realize it but there are two dozen companies involved

in the cabinet making industry. This event not only taps into their sense of community but also their spirited sense of competition. We are going to cooperate in building the course, organizing the event but trust me, on race day; it will be every cabinetmaker for himself.”

Although the cabinetmakers are the organizers, the challenge is open to any company, organization or individual. Registration fee is $50.00 and the deadline is Friday, June 17th. “People need the summer to build and test their racers,” Buster said. “We can handle 40 racers on race day.”

“We are thrilled that already over a dozen organizations are registered and paid in full. We have plenty of cabinetmakers like Unique Woodworks, T&W and Evan’s CounterCraft signed up, but also companies as diverse as Stephen’s Grocery, Point Bank and American Best Concrete are in”, said Thomas.

Speed as well as creativity will be awarded. Trophies will be given to the fastest racer as well as a People’s Choice Trophy and a Judges Selection. For details contact Bruce Thomas at City Hall.

R. Todd Witte Midway Church is very excited to

be a part of the Bonnie and Clyde days for 2011. We have a big heart for kids and many years of experi-ence working with them.

Each year we host several big events geared for children: Fall N2 Fun in October, Kidz Week in June and three summer camps in July, just to name a few. These programs are in addition to our weekly AWANA program on Wednesday evenings and our

Sunday morning classes and Kidz Church. Because of this, It seemed like a good fit when Bruce Thomas asked us to coordinate depression era games for this year’s Bonnie and Clyde Days.

One of the suggestions from last year was to have more for kids to do. That is exactly what we are go-ing to make happen. Kids will not want to miss this year’s Bonnie and Clyde Days.

Thinking back on that era, these were the kids from the greatest

generation, there is much to cel-ebrate about how they played. They were creative and made the most from what they could get their hands on during very lean times. The games we will be sponsoring honor that creativity and give this generation a chance to experience something that connects them with their grandparents or great grand-parents.

There will be some competi-tive activities like gunny sack and three-legged races. Another option

will be a stilt race along with will be skilled activities like marbles and jump-rope. We will also have a place set up where kids can try to beat their parents in checkers and another area where they will very likely be able to beat them in hopscotch.

The kids area will be open from 12-4 with plenty to do for kids of all ages. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Midway Church providing games and activities for the kids at Bonnie and Clyde Days

During the depression years of the 1930’s and on through WW II there was not very much money with which to buy toys. Usually mom and dad made most of the toys. This year’s “Bonnie & Clyde

Days” will be on Saturday October 8, 2011. The Homemade Market is the centerpiece of the day. “We are looking to recreate a piece of living history by offering baked goods, canned goods, arts, crafts, jewelry

and quilts”, said Bruce Thomas, Director of Pilot Point Main Street. The Homemade Market starts at 9:00 AM. Organizations and church groups are all welcome to participate. All the information

and a registration forms are on the Pilot Point web site www.cityofpi-lotpoint.org . If you are interested in showing your skills, reserve your spot at the marketplace.

“Hooverville” was a deliberate and political label holding President Hoover responsible for the eco-nomic hardship of the Depres-

sion. The shantytowns and soup kitchens were a common sight in many areas. Justine Wollaston a well-known area artist will recre-

ate life in Hooverville. She will be in full costume cooking soup for the nightly soup line. Make sure you stop by and visit her on the

south side of the square across from Lowbrows.

Film critic Roger Ebert called Bonnie and Clyde “a milestone in the history of American movies, a work of truth and brilliance”.

Thought wildly successful it was more than a popular gangster pic-ture. As cinema, Bonnie and Clyde

was an innovation. It redefined violence in film. Moreover, al-though the film is set in the 1930s, Bonnie and Clyde metaphorically related to the 1960s by presenting the idea of resisting the Establish-ment. The audiences were thrilled

and shocked by the film’s sudden changes of mood from farce to tragedy, from social observation to shocking violence.

Set in the 30’s, Bonnie & Clyde was very much a film of the late 60’s, reflecting the turbulence, unrest and mistrust of that era.

Cinema was never the same after Bonnie and Clyde. A water-shed film in Hollywood history, and Bonnie and Clyde ignited intense levels of screen violence but also the innovative shifting and mixture of tones within the

movie. For the first time gangsters were portrayed as simultaneously loveable and funny as well as sick and dysfunctional.

The American Film Institute ranked Bonnie and Clyde as the #27 Greatest Movie of All Time. Warner Brothers had so little faith in the film, however, that, in an unprecedented move, it offered its first-time producer, Warren Be-atty 40% of the gross instead of a minimal fee. The movie then went on to gross over $50 million.

Public Enemies of 1934 stages reenactments of bank robberies and shoot outs from the heyday of the automotive bandits of the early 1930s. See one of their shows to catch a glimpse of the likes of Bonnie and Clyde, Ted Hinton,

Frank Hamer, John Dillinger or Baby Face Nelson.

Last year they participated in the First Annual Bonnie & Clyde Days in Pilot Point, Texas where they used one of the banks used in the 1967 Bonnie & Clyde movie as a

backdrop for one of their original scenes. They are all looking forward to the second Annual Bonnie & Clyde Days in Pilot Point! The members are already preparing for the event and assisting actively with the planning committee.

Several History Channel pro-ductions including Tales of the Gun and Weird USA featured the group. Members of Public Enemies have also worked on or contributed to the following productions, A&E Biography, the History Channel’s Rivals, History’s Lost And Found, Outlaws and Lawmen and Tak-ing down Capone. Members also participated in Fox’s 1992 made for television production Bonnie & Clyde: The True Story.

The group recreates specific historical shootouts or robberies as well as scenarios tailored to festi-vals or events. In addition to a full cast of characters in period cloth-ing, their shows also incorporate vintage automobiles and blank fir-

ing fully automatic machine guns. At the Annual Bonnie & Clyde

Festival in Gibsland, Louisiana, members not only recreate the infamous duo’s demise but they also perform several bank robberies and reenactments of the infamous Dex-field Park incident.

The members have also per-formed at The Great River City Festival in Mason City, Iowa several times. There you will see a reenact-ment of the March 1934 robbery of the First National Bank where lo-cal citizens and law officers bravely prevented the successful robbery by John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and the rest of their gang.

Public Enemies do almost any kind of 1920s or 1930s show. They admit they will do just about any kind of performance you can think of ! However, please just do not ask us to rob a real bank because they are just actors…

America 2050 a coalition of regional planners, scholars, and policy-makers has identified ten Mega regions in the United Sates. The Megaregion best poised for future growth and prosperity is the Texas Triangle. The Texas Triangle has advantages that other Megaregions can’t match including, moderate weather, a centralized location, no personal state income tax, a diversified economy, sensible cost of liv-ing, plenty of space to grow, big affordable homes, and a welcom-ing attitude as big as the Lone Star State itself. With Austin at its center and with Houston and San Antonio on the corners, Fort Worth to the west and Dallas to the east, our area in located perfectly for the future.

At the very point of the Texas Triangle is Pilot Point, Texas. Long before it was a town, Native Americans knew the grove of Oak trees with one tall Cottonwood pointed the way to water. In the 1840’s Pilot Point earned its name from the wagon train pilots. The pilots identified that same stra-tegic point as they moved across the sprawling, trackless land to a new future. However, not all travelers passed through, early

settlers made the area their home, establishing the oldest settlement in Denton County. On Christ-mas Day in 1853 the street grid of Pilot Point was platted with a square at the town’s center and it soon became a bustling mercantile hub for North Texas.

Pilot Point is awakening to a bright future because once again, as in the past, Pilot Point is stra-tegically located. A confluence of factors are in place that are unique to Pilot Point which set the stage floor for this Texas town of 5,000 residents to play a singular role in the future of this exciting region. Including, Pilot Point is within reach. Highway 35 makes Dallas and Fort Worth accessible within an hour and with the planned extension of the North Texas Tollway the DFW Metroplex is right down the road. That means that 6.4 million residents are within an hour away. By 2040 the population will grow by 63%. Even more exciting is that the population is young, educated and with sizeable incomes.

Pilot Point is also sheltered. It is within convenient reach of the DFW area yet surprisingly sheltered from the hustle and

bustle of the Metroplex, because Pilot Point is nestled between two very distinctive assets, Lake Ray Roberts and Horse Country of North Texas. Lake Ray Roberts is a 30,000 acre lake built by the Corp of Engineers in 1984. With no private construction allowed on the shoreline it is one of the most pristine parks in the DFW Metroplex. Pilot Point is also sheltered because it lies in the heart of Horse Country U.S.A. The area is blessed with sandy loam soil and mild winters perfect for working horses year-round and the home to some of the most beautiful horse farms and ranches in Texas. Thus, Pilot Point’s position is uncommon both within reach yet sheltered. Protected form the liabilities of urban sprawl while benefiting from close proximity to one of the nations most sophisticated urban areas.

Furthermore, Pilot Point has a sense of place. Unique geographic assets blend with rich history, the 1850’s street grid pattern, the centrally located town square and the current residents to create something that is difficult to define, widely sought, yet all but impossible to replicate. Pilot

Point is a sense of place, ours in an invisible weave of history, cur-rent culture and physical aspects with people who have lived in Pilot Point for generations work-ing, playing and living side by side with new arrival, resulting in an authentic sense of place.

These things make for a unique opportunity as well as AA formidable challenge. The challenge to grow with the future and remain faithful to the past by keeping the authenticity and small town charm, while protect-ing the surrounding beauty and preserve the historic nature of one of Texas’ most serene towns. Can a small town prosper while preserving its history and quality of life at the very point of the most dynamic Megaregion in the country?

The challenge is formidable, maybe not as dramatic as the one faced by the first settlers, or our early residents, but imposing never the less. It is a challenge we are up to, after all we are Pilot Point, the point of the Texas Triangle and we have been pointing the way since 1845.

Pilot Point Strategically Located for the Future

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, both born in Texas, met on the east side of Dallas and were among the most famous of criminals during the time of the Great Depression. They captured the imagination of the American press and newspaper readers nationwide. Bonnie and Clyde’s exploits are a travelogue of North Texas. They visited cities all around Pilot Point including Kaufman, Hillsboro, Sherman, Grapevine and Denton. They never pulled a robbery in Pilot Point; however, some old-timers swore they saw the two buying groceries and gas at times in town. Legend has it that they hid out in the woods around Pilot Point, which were then, as they are now, some of the thickest woods in North Texas. It was also said that they hid out in a house belonging to an aunt located on the outskirts of town, which is why they never robbed any businesses in Pilot Point.
