Monday Night Movies: Iroquois Amphitheater July 30 Every Monday one of Louisville’s most understated attractions, the historic Iroquois Amphitheater, turns into a cinematic sanctuary as it plays host to some of the most important accomplishments in filmic history. Louisville’s blossoming film profile, which owes its thanks to the incredible work of the Flyover and Louisville International Film Festivals as well as the Louisville Film Society, expresses an extensive knowledge and thorough appreciation of the medium through this weekly series, a free and indispensable addition to Louisvillians’ rituals. But the price is not the only advantage the amphitheater has over traditional movie theaters. In 2000, Metro Parks began an ambitious restoration project. The goal was to modernize the facility while preserving its historic character. The renovations expertly managed to conserve the amphitheater’s rustic serenity, providing attendees not only with great shows, but also a unique, nostalgic setting. On July 30 the final film featured as a part of the Monday Night Movie Series will be Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, which chronicles the classic tale of Dr. Indiana Jones on his quest for the Ark of the Covenant. On Friday, August 10, however, the amphitheater hosts the analogous Movies Under the Stars series, featuring a free screening of the animated family-favorite, Cars 2. The Iroquois Amphitheater is state-of-the-art with seating for 2,366; it is handicapped-accessible and is the official amphitheater for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is located in Louisville’s South end at 1080 Amphitheater Rd, 40214. Admission to all Monday Night Movies is free!

All are in the open and can be examined top to bottom, front to back, inside and out. While the exquisite paint and other features of the car should not be touched, spectators are free to look to their heart’s content.

Hadley Pottery Handcrafted American Pottery Hadley Pottery - maker of fine, hand-crafted stoneware - has been producing iconic pottery for nearly 70 years. Inspired by the designs of renowned artist, Mary Alice Hadley, the pottery is an American classic, cherished by everyday users, enthusiasts and serious collectors across the United States and around the world. What distinguishes Hadley from all other pottery and what has created a long and loyal following is the originality and charm of the decoration. Often described as simple, whimsical and warm, the handpainted Hadley designs are remarkable in their ability to capture the essence and emotion of a time, a place, or a memory. Hadley stoneware is durable. Made from clay native to Kentucky and Indiana, the stoneware is painted, glazed and then kiln-fired at 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, making it highly resistant to chipping and scratching. It is lead-free and oven, microwave and dishwasher-safe. Hadley stoneware is made in small batches in a historic building in Louisville. Each hand-crafted piece is signed by an artist trained by a protégé of Mary Alice Hadley. The hand-painted signature is the mark of genuine Hadley stoneware. Early in 1940, Mary Alice Hadley, a respected watercolorist, painter and muralist, applied her talents to the creation of a custom set of dishes for her family's cruiser on the Ohio River. The daughter of a building tile manufacturer in Terra Haute, Indiana, painting on clay was a natural extension of her artistic ability. So many guests on the Hadley's boat praised her painted dishes and made requests for similar pieces that a new career was born. Orders for her pottery came streaming in and by 1945 a new business was founded. Hadley stoneware was soon widely circulated throughout the nation. Since its serendipitous beginning in 1940, Mary Alice Hadley's unique vision and style has been widely imitated. But her original spirit and creative energy is still alive in the historic pottery on Story Avenue. Artists trained by protégés of Mary Alice Hadley still continue the tradition of creating pottery that evokes wit, whimsy and warmth. Hadley Pottery is located at 1570 Story Avenue, which is easily accessible from Interstates I-64, I-65, and I-71. Store hours are Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm, and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information call 502-584-2171 or toll-free 866-584-2171. Check out the new website at www.hadleypottery.com or become a fan on Facebook.
