Butch Cassidy Raids Ludlow July 7

Pictured above, apparently relaxing after robbing a Winnemucca, Nevada bank, is the "Wild Bunch" - better known to us as the "Hole in the Wall Gang", led by Butch Cassidy (front row, center-naturally). The gang will be featured in the next 1st Thursday movie at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium on Thursday, July 7 at 7 PM, in the movie that starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Sponsored by FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium), the film depicts the careers of two train and bank robbers at the end of the 19th Century. The movie is free and is shown on the new large auditorium screen using the state-of-the-art projection equipment given to the town by FOLA. Incidentally, for those wondering how the Sundance Kid ever earned his moniker, it wasn't as romantic as the name might suggest. When, as a very young lad, he was in jail in the town of Sundance, Wyoming, he was referred to as the kid from Sundance; hence, the Sundance Kid. The movie also featured the memorable song, "Raindrops Keep Falling".
