“Laugh With Lucy” - Comedies Staring Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball once said, “I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.”  Through tears, talent, and determination she worked her way up to being The Queen of Comedy.  This brilliant redhead has left us all a little better off for the joy she brings.  Join us Wednesdays in August for “Laugh With Lucy”, a celebration of the comedies of the hilarious Lucille Ball.  Admission and refreshments are free, courtesy of the Talent Library Club.  Movies will start at 2:00 p.m. at the Talent Library, 101 Home St.
