[StBernard] Chubby Checker and the Wild Cats to perform at the Sigur Civic Center Auditorium on Aug. 14 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "The Twist"

sounds like loads of fun.
 
Senator AG Crowe is being very generous about organizing this event.  was it Crowe who decided the people of st bernard would light up the old kaiser smokestack, or was this decision made by some committee?  --- I know there's one in every crowd who will naysay --- just wondering how we will pay this light bill and what type of night time distraction this will create for drivers and for the neighborhood

will sing their top hits, including Dee Dee Kenniebrew of the Crystals. 

The event at the Sigur Center, 8245 W. Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette, will 
benefit the Tower of Lights project to illuminate the Port of St. Bernard 
(Kaiser)tower as a colorful beacon to be seen from miles around. Doors for the 
concert will open at 6 p.m. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. An antique road show 
in the parking lot from 3 to 6 p.m. will precede the concert and set the mood 
for returning to the sixties.
