Music lovers who want a chance to see an artist who has sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammy trophies for Best Male Vocalist and sold out arenas worldwide should move now to secure a ticket to the 10th Anniversary Rosemary Clooney Concert which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 27 in downtown Maysville.

Michael Bolton will headline the event which will also feature the comedy of Rich Little and a chance to enjoy a butler-served gourmet meal under the stars.

There's more.

This year, concert goers can stretch their dollar by arranging tickets through the Maysville Players and the Downing Performing Arts Academy. Lundy's, organizers and promoters of the event, have agreed to make a donation equal to 10 percent of the ticket price to the Players and the Downing Academy.

Tables and seating are all assigned on a first come, first served basis, and ticket sales are said to be brisk. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., an hour later than in previous years, and the entertainment will begin at 7 o'clock.

Tables are available at four levels: Premier, $2,500 per table or $250 a seat; Gold, $2,000 per table or $200 a seat; Silver, $1,800 per table or $180 per seat; and Bronze at $1,000 per table, $100 per seat.

In order to make sure that your ticket purchase results in a donation to these nonprofit groups, call the Washington Opera House at 606-564-3666 and leave your name and telephone number or send your name, address, telephone number and payment to:

Rosemary Clooney Concert

c/o The Maysville Players

PO Box 537

Maysville, KY 41056

We are convinced that this concert will be one of the best ever, and the chance to provide a significant donation to two of the area's most important arts organizations is added incentive to attend.

Call today.

" Whats wrong with you in Maysville. This Prices almost remind me to be back in DC for a Dinner with the President. Over $ 2000.- for a Table? Can I bring 100 people to the table with me? "

" How generous of Lundergan's to help return the festival to it's original roots as a fundraiser! Where would we be without their dedication to Maysville? "
