We’re doing this for ‘The 78.’ The 78 long dead men who on July 4, 1919, gathered together and formed what is now Sullivan American Legion Post 68. It’s been 100 years, and the Legion wants to honor them by including their names on bricks in the new Walk of Honor,” noted Tina Bolsen, one of the organizers of this Friday’s Celebrity Karaoke event at the Sullivan American Legion.
The April 12 event starts at 8 p.m. at the Legion and is open to people age 18 and over. There is a $5 admission charge and a $5 singing fee per song. Open singing will be from 8 to 8:30 and after the Celebrity Karaoke competition
Local “celebrities” have been invited to battle for bragging rights in the competition that will start at 8:30. Other people who would like to enter the contest will have a chance to “buy a spin” for a chance to participate
“Right now there is already an intense battle forming between Sullivan Middle School teachers Troy Rogers and Deena Lee,” noted Becky Lawson, another of the event’s organizers. “There is a great “Rocky”-style video on Facebook promoting their face-off.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
