MOUNT VERNON, Ohio – Foodstock-a night
of ’60s-era music at the Memorial Theatre, is set to raise funds for Food For
The Hungry on Thursday, Nov. 26, at 7 p.m. Suggested cost of admission is one or
more food items (see top 10 needs list at
www.FoodForTheHungryCares.org) and/or a monetary donation.

If unable to give, the public is still encouraged to attend

 This third annual Chautauqua  musical reunion-type event was the brainchild of event organizer Mike Petee. The
last two years, the Chautauqua Beatles held a concert at the Memorial Theatre to
  raise money, and food for the needy of Knox County. “When I saw that the need
  was even greater this year, I asked many of our community’s talented musicians
  if we could put together a bigger program to help our neighbors in need,”
explained Petee. “They came up with the idea of FOODSTOCK."

 Three groups will perform in a Chautauqua-style setting. The cast of musicians involved are: Jeff Putnam, Jim
Frady and Biller Miller as Buddy Holly & The Crickets; Kevin Mishey, Robert Shipley, Bob Stulka, Skip Trask and Mike Petee as The Doors; and Desmond Wall, Roy Rush, Bill Miller and Mike Petee as The Beatles. Several special guests will also make brief appearances, including Elvis. People of all generations will enjoy this family friendly concert while supporting a great local cause.


“The Beatles affected not only their own generation, but every generation since the 1960s, as have The Doors and Buddy Holly & The Crickets. With each passing year, their legacies continue to grow. Like the event known as Woodstock, Foodstock will be an event unlike any other. This one night of music for the hungry is for everyone to enjoy and tell your friends, ‘I was at Foodstock!” said Petee. “If you are one of the needy, or know those who are, let them know this event is a Christmas
gift to them as well. For those who can count God’s blessings this year,
please give as much as you can and remember the words of Paul McCartney in the final song recorded by The Beatles on Abbey Road—‘And in the end, the love you
take is equal to the love you make.’”


This event is presented by Elixir and the Chautauqua Series, which is co-sponsored by the Ohio Humanities Council and Ariel Foundation.

For more information about the upcoming concert, please call 740-392-6102 or
740-392-3018. or visit www.elixirpresents.com.

Burl Ives to
Speak at Chautauqua Series



Mount
Vernon -
Born
June 14, 1909, the finale of the Chautauqua Series’ 7th season
features a character who was an actor, writer, and folk singer. As an actor, his
work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and
motion pictures. As a writer, he published several books of folk music and an
autobiography as well as being blacklisted during the McCarthy Commission
hearings in 1950. And finally, as a folksinger, who cannot remember his version
of Dan Emmett’s “The Blue Tail Fly” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas.” What better
way to bring in the Christmas season then to have Burl Ives speak at the finale
of the 2013 season?


Dayne
Baughman, who has portrayed such diverse characters as John Belushi and Babe
Ruth, will bring Burl Ives to life on stage at ThePlace@TheWoodward (111 S. Main
Street in historic downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio) on Thursday November 21 at 7 PM.
Dayne will portray Ives in first person historical format and will invite
questions from the audience at the end of his presentation.


Opening
for Ives will be co-organizer of the series, Gerry Rensel, singing and playing
songs of the folk era associated with Burl Ives. This event is presented on a
donation basis and helped in part by grants provided by the Ohio Humanities
Council, Ariel Foundation and the Rolls-Royce Charities/Civic Fund. For more
information on this program and for information on the 2014 schedule visit

or call 740-392-6102.


And
be sure to attend the Chautauqua Foodstock Concert that benefits the Food For
The Hungry campaign at the Memorial Theater on Tuesday November 26 at 7 PM,
featuring live music presented in first person living history format by The
Beatles, The Doors and Buddy Holly and the Crickets as well as several guest
appearances. Cost for that event is food and/or money donation. Visit
