The Junior League of Bristol is gearing up for a much anticipated local tradition – Follies! About every three years, the Junior League of Bristol puts on a Follies performance, a one of a kind event that features an elaborate theatrical revue of music, dance, and skits performed by local celebrities and personalities. Follies is a variety show that promises a good time will be had by all. This year the performance will be on November 6 & 7 at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Bristol. The Follies theme is “Shaken with a Splash of Sublime,” since the Junior League is currently raising funds for a Splash Pad to be installed at Steele Creek Park in Bristol, TN. At Quaker Steak and Lube on September 23, locals gathered to participate in karaoke and possibly be selected as the “Follies Idol”. Performers garnered audience donations and Junior League members were on hand to cheer on contestants and circulate in the audience to collect tips. The overall winner of the Follies Idol contest was Elizabeth Davis, who has been invited to be in the Follies. There was also an Under 18 winner, Navaeh Newton, who also may have a role in Follies. Tickets for Follies are available from any Junior League of Bristol member. For more information on the Junior League of Bristol, its projects and the Follies production, visit jlbristol.org
