The Market House Theatre plans to hold its third-ever Curtain Call Fundraiser, a live auction, on Friday, March 4. Part of the fundraiser includes local individuals competing for cameo roles in the hit musical Annie for a one-night special presentation to be held June 18, 2011.

Patrick James from Willie 102 and Mitch Meyers from Electric 96.9 will compete for the part of the masked announcer. Each will have a collection jar at the radio station and will also solicit votes from Facebook. Friends and listeners can drop off cash donations at the station.

Additionally, Elaine Spalding, president of the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, and Mary Hammond, executive director at Paducah Convention & Visitors Bureau, will raise money to decide who between them will get the role of the Hard Knock Life Orphan in the opening scene.

EntrePaducah-Paducah Bank Business Plan Competition




OK, all you entrepreneurs out there! Here’s your chance to win a cool $2,500 to get your business started!

EntrePaducah and Paducah Bank are teaming up for their first Business Plan Competition.

According to EntrePaducah’s website: “A key component of any entrepreneurial venture is a well-prepared business plan. Many businesses and business start-ups, however, try to navigate their way through the business world with no plan and, ultimately, no clear direction. EntrePaducah wants to not only educate entrepreneurs on business plan writing, but reward this area’s best business plan!”

Here’s the answer to the big question most of you are probably going to ask: “Applying companies who have been established as a company before the date of March 31, 2010 are not eligible to compete.” Sorry Mary and Nikki!

Deadline for your great ideas: Thursday, March 31 at 5 p.m.

All the details are here. For more info, call 270.332.1746.
