Lions Follies Opens

The 39th annual Mid-Columbia Lions Follies starts its two-weekend run on Friday at the Hood River Middle School Auditorium.  This year’s show is “Follies in the Ozarks,” a story based around the Ma and Pa Kettle movies of the forties and fifties.  The Follies will take place Friday and Saturday evenings the next two weekends at 7:30 p.m., plus a matinee this Sunday at 2 p.m.  Tickets are $9 in advance from any Hood River County Lions Club member and a number of area outlets or $10 at the door, with children 12 and under two dollars off.  The show benefits the Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, which has received $315,000 from the Follies over the past 38 years.
