RIPON — The Ripon Noon Kiwanis Club will feature sounds of yesteryear when it presents the "Turn the Radio On" variety show at 7 p.m. March 24 and 26 at Ripon High School Auditorium.
"For many years, the club put on variety shows. It was a Kiwanis tradition," said Tonya Alling, president-elect of the Ripon Noon Kiwanis Club, in a press release. "We're bringing back the tradition, and we'd love to see the whole community at the show."
The variety show will feature local talent and musical entertainment, running the gamut from acoustical guitar, folk, barbershop, bluegrass, Broadway and rock to old-time radio acts like Fibber McGee and Lake Wobegon. The Kiwanis Chorus will sing five tunes.
Local participants include Andy Armstrong, who sings with the popular band "I Drank with Frank," and Tim Lyke, Dr. Roger Gundlach, Dustin Hacker, The Ceresco Prairie Band, Geoff Arnold, Louie Bock, the Our Saviour's Puppeteers, Patti Quinn, Emily Dinegan and many others.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $9 at the door and may be purchased at Ripon Drug, M&I Bank, Pick 'n Save or from any Ripon Noon Kiwanis Club member.
Proceeds from the event will support Kiwanis service projects and scholarships, helping the club fulfill the Kiwanis mission of "Serving the Children of the World."
