KICK UP YOUR HEELS FUNDRAISER ~ BID FOR KIDS SUMMER PROGRAMS ~ LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE

KICK UP YOUR HEELS CHARITY FUNDRAISER for LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE




Sell one like this

All money raised for this fundraiser will go towards the programming and development of children's workshops. The Lancaster Opera House is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) Performing Arts Theater. 

The Lancaster Opera House is a reminder of an early American tradition. In previous centuries, it was not unusual to combine a music hall with a town’s main governmental building. These multi-functional halls were often called “Opera Houses”, whether or not opera was, in fact, performed. The Lancaster Opera House, designed by George J. Metzger, is one of only a few such Town Hall Opera Houses left in the country.
The restoration of the Opera House was started as a Bicentennial Project in 1975, with funding from the Town of Lancaster, State of New York, and numerous other public and private sources. When restoration began, forty seven cots, and a number of helmets were among the debris stacked on the floor of the auditorium. What had been a musty storeroom was on its way back to its turn of the century beauty. A new stairwell and elevator were built on to the East end of the Town Hall to provide handicapped access; the ceiling and walls were repaired; and four temporary rooms which had been built in the West corners of the balcony and auditorium were removed. The auditorium floor was stripped of a linoleum covering and refinished, the plaster frieze work of the proscenium arch was returned to its original state, and lighting fixtures which duplicated the original combination gas and electric fixtures were searched out and installed. St. Mary’s Elementary School in Lancaster, which was scheduled for demolition at the time, yielded wainscoting and hardware, which were used in the project.
After six years of hard work, the Opera House reopened on September 20, 1981. Once again, it is a performing arts and community center, looking as much as it did on opening night in 1897. The renovation of the basement and first floors of the Town Hall, which houses town offices, was completed in the Fall of 1987.  Displayed on the left side of the balcony are the original wooden balcony seats from 1897. The Opera House received a prestigious Pewter Plate award from the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier for outstanding renovation and operations of a historic venue.

  2. Well I don't really go in for that sort of thing, (try Volty, I hear he likes wearing heels), but those are some cool looking shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Are those from the show? Did you wear those on the show?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Include "Fluffo" in the deal and I,ll pay a WHOPPING two hundred smackers Canadian.....that's about ten bucks American now.

    Actually, forget the shoes I,ll just take Fluffo.

    :D

  5. Oooooops...I meant to say that ten thousand American dollars is two hundred Canadian bucks.

    New Poll Finds The More People Learn About Romney, The More They Dislike Him

    Overall, 55 percent of those who are closely following the campaign say they disapprove of what the GOP candidates have been saying. ]

    By better than 2 to 1, Americans say the more they learn about Romney, the less they like him.

    Even among Republicans, as many offer negative as positive assessments of him on this question.

    Judgments about former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who denounced Romney on Saturday night in Nevada, are about 3 to 1 negative.


    And just think, the campaign has 6 months till the GOper ship of fooles crashes during their Tampa 4 ring circus.

    There each foole gets to show America why he would be bad for the US the next four years.

    Up to now they have done such a swell job,

    the guy, who 66% of the people dislike when they get to know him,

    is winning their insane competition,

    for the wingnuts-teabagger crown of distinction.

    King FOOLE





    THEN;

    they get to take on

    the guy

    who beat the Clinton political machine

    then the entire GOP propaganda operation last time .....




    LOL;

    enjoy volty.

  8. Ultimately, I believe Obama's done a reasonable job. His efforts to implement health care reform………an enormous task while trying to clean-up a conservative economic nightmare………should be applauded despite widespread disapproval.

    And, ripping Bin Laden’s turban was cool too………I wish him the best in the next election!

  9. Why Johnny. You actually said something smart for a change...I think.

    No seeded, ...sublime straw men.....no distortion.....?

    ReplyDelete
  10. ....uh oh....wait a sec..

    ..spoke too soon

    ....what "widespread disapproval".

    Polls show the country pretty much evenly divided with Obama enjoying a slight but notable lead over Romney.

  11. :|



    ...oh Johnny.....there you go again.

    ReplyDelete
  12. You're a sneaky one I'll grant ya that.

    ReplyDelete
  13. widespread disapproval.

    IE; Faux News and the fat drug addicted 3 times divorced radio guy who hid from service in Vietnam.

    Anything else doesn't mean anything to the right wing and their water carriers.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think you broke into Uncle Bills Liquor cabinet again Worf. I clearly indicated widespread disapproval of his health care reform.......not him overall as a President!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Really? Well lets see.

    You said;

    His efforts to implement health care reform………an enormous task while trying to clean-up a conservative economic nightmare………should be applauded despite widespread disapproval.

    So...while you did indeed "mention" his efforts to implement health care reform", ..you also talked about in the same statement, his "trying to clean up a conservative economic nightmare", saying that both of those efforts ought to be applauded. Then you added the "despite widespread disapproval".

    So the widespread disapproval was directly tied to health care, how exactly?

    See Johnny, its one of those "ambiguities" you've always put out there. You seed these ideas masked in murky, ambiguous language so you can always claim "I didn't mean that".

    Well, which one did you mean here?

    If it was health care, then why did you add efforts on the economy too?

    You can't see you pointing to one or the other with the widespread disapproval comment, meaning that it was a summarizing comment at best, with regards to Him. Not any particular policy.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Of course you could have meant health care, but again, ..its that old Johnny Moo Moo ambiguous dialogue.

    Always shrouding your insults, jibes and meanings in a veil of purposeful ambiguity, so you can deny it later.

  20. OK Worf

    Perhaps I should have added brackets like this so as to be thoughtful of those with lesser minds:

    Ultimately, I believe Obama's done a reasonable job. His efforts to implement health care reform (an enormous task while trying to clean-up a conservative economic nightmare)should be applauded despite widespread disapproval.


    Anyways,I'm hungry; think I,ll have me some tossed salad and chicken Alfredo.

  21. Clippys funny.....LOL!

    Defending the sock puppets of your comrades again I see.

    ReplyDelete
  22. If you have to tell people you're funny, ...then you must not be funny.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Right wing humorists are kinda like that,

    They keep a tellin' folks that they is funny,

    but nobody can figger out,

    when they is a supposed to laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  24. For health and monetary reasons government bans smoking in public places yet allows establishments like McDonald's to operate.

    What you consume will kill you long before smoking does.

    “It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a study that purports to show a correlation between values and "prejudice" would depend on a subjective view of how prejudice is defined.”


    This is true…………well said! But, whose subjective view ultimately reigns? As long as something remains subjective then it is always open for interpretation unless of course it is objective which racism and prejudice are not.

    Worf said:

    “and of course this internet troll, who's opinion outweighs the collective intelligence of all the world.....”

    Sorry, but numbers nor career choice don’t mean jack……..

    According to Worf numbers of people and education ultimately determines precise subjective point of view. If this were true the world would be in a heap of trouble.

    In the 1930,s and 40,s 80 million Germans frenetically followed their leader Adolf Hitler. Among these folks were university educated lawyers, doctors, judges, scientists, engineers, philosophers, etc………each of whom genuinely stood behind their leader both ethically and politically.

    A mere handful of citizens……namely the “Kreisau Circle”………opposed Hitler and his doctrine recognizing early on the impending doom that lay ahead……quite simply they were outcasts!

    Now, let’s suppose that one were to place the eighty million Germans and all its intellectuals to the right and the tiny Kreisau Circle to the left……whom do you think one would choose when trying to discern which group to join ethically? The Jew haters or the outcasts?

    Naturally, 99.999999 percent of people would join the majority after all eighty million Germans can’t be wrong.

    Of course we now know that eighty million Germans and their subjective view were wrong and that the pathetically small Kreisau Circle was right.

  27. Godwin's law still rules the Mookmook

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yea..but the one "what"...

    ReplyDelete
  29. ...the one desperately trying to compare liberals to the right wing Nazis, and the right wing Nazi-like Tea Baggers to the members of the Kreisau Circle.

    Which of course is the exact opposite of reality.

    ReplyDelete
  30. ...since Hitler wasn't infamous for trying to give the poor people free medical care.

    ReplyDelete
  31. ....but for launching all out conventional war on small, poorly defended nations....like Poland.

    ReplyDelete
  32. ...sort of like Bush...who invaded and occupied Iraq.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And of course Hitler was infamous for the Enabling Act....like Bush was infamous for the Patriot Act.

    ReplyDelete
  34. ...and of course torture.....lets not forgot the love of torture.


    Hitler loved it. The Nazi's loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  35. ...and so did Bush and the Tea Bagging republicans.

    ReplyDelete
  36. So we see, what Johnny and the other right wing internet trolls have been doing for the last 4 years is to try to play down Bush's very real comparisons to Hitler and the Nazi doctrines, and instead try to paint Obama as a Nazi.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Like the Nazis, they figure if they just repeat the lie often enough, people won't know the difference.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yes, I wore them on the show. Love you xoxo

    Wrong Worf, I am simply pointing out the absurd imprecision in your post regarding conservatives having low intelligence. Apparently some kind study was performed by educated folks and supported by countless people around the world.

    I could care less if this study was completed by 10 super Gods and supported by 50 billion people this does not magically make it objective and thus the final word………it remains subjective and thus infinitely open for interpretation. Any half-wit philosopher knows that majorities of people and education do not ultimately determine ethics.

    For example, let’s imagine that Ms. Cornell invites me out for a picnic in the country complete with tuna fish sandwiches, deviled eggs, chocolate covered ants, and 24 bottles of Moosehead beer with slices of lemon.

    Now let’s say while enjoying our merriment's a large crowd of 150 KKK members arrives in a field next to us to hold a rally; keep in mind some of these members are educated and influential members of the community.

    While there they meander over and express their disgust with blacks and ask us to join their group. Outnumbered 150 to 2 are we to dismiss our subjective belief, which supports blacks, and agree with their point of view and say:

    “Well, gee, you fellows must be right due to the fact that you’re educated plus there’s 150 of you guys and only two of us.”

    See my point?

    Remember: “Peoples powers of comprehension are limited to the form they wish to fill.”

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes we know Johnny.

    You could care less what the facts show.

    ReplyDelete
  41. As a lower intelligence right wing loon.....all you care about is your opinion on any given subject.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Unfortunately for your "opinion" however, ....multiple scientific studies by various scientific and medical research groups and institutions, done over a period longer than you've been alive.....prove contrary to your "opinion".

    ReplyDelete
  43. ...but hey...you know what they say.


    Opinions are like assholes.

    Everyone's got one.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Too bad yours doesn't change reality.

    WOW......sounds mighty expensive!

    Millions of taxpayers dollars....

    .........and it took top analysts years of research to discover that conservatives are stoopid????

    LOL

    :D

    Tell me again who the stoopid ones are......LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Gee, wonder how many hungry mouths this money would have fed………or how much medicine, clean water, or farm equipment it would have purchased for those desperately in need?

    I suppose stoopid research is more important.

    :|

    ReplyDelete
  48. Who are the stoopid ones?

    Well that would be you apparently, since these weren't government mandated but private universities and research groups from multiple countries performing these studies.

    Gee....wonder where I've heard that sort of argument before?


    7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

    For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

    When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.


    Its a common, and lame argument used by those with no tenable argument against something they don't like.

    You can't refute 50 years of research by multiple parties done in multiple countries.

    Oh sure, you can toss out your typical "nuh uh", like a 3 year old, but your nuh uhs mean absolutely nothing.

    Nothing at all.

    ReplyDelete
  50. So when your nuh uhs fall flat, you turn to the tired argument that the money should be given to the poor.


    Which is such an inane and lame argument that one can only respond that when you start giving every cent you now waste on toy models and booze, (and most likely cigarettes)to the poor, then come tell us what everyone else should do with their money.


    Thou hypocrite.

    Wow...

    Just wow...

    Hey Worf,

    While you're working on Johnny's mote, you might wanna check that plank in you and Cliffy's eye eh?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Thou hypocrite indeed...

    You probably ought to delete that post Worf. You just negated several years of your posts, not to mention Cliffy's.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I however will hang on to it for you.

    Hope you like crow, I'm gonna be serving you quite a bit of it from now on...LOL

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh look, Volty's changed back to his original handle.


    How nice.

    Just a lot of "nuh uhs" again.
