Poke Sallet Follies

Hallmark of Spring "Poke Sallet Follies" Returns for 25th Year

Past Post Sallet performance. Don't miss this years!

 A hallmark of Spring in the Athens-Limestone community takes music, quirky skits and a variety of local elected officials and community stewards and puts them on stage in "Poke Sallet Follies".  This annual benefit fundraiser for The Athens Foundation on Aging enables many programs and services offered to community seniors including Meals On Wheels and the insurance information assistance program.

 As "Poke Sallet Follies" marks its 25th Anniversary this year, audiences continue to enjoy the "poking" that many of the local officials and community members endure or deliver.  Whether it be gents dressed in hula skirts performing - or attempting to perform - a perilous dance of the Pacific; an "utterly" ridiculous superhero or satirical take on a Top 40 hit -- dinner guest have walked away happy and often with sore sides.

 This year's "Poke Sallet Follies" will occur March 2nd, 3rd and 4th but don't hesitate to get tickets to this annually sold out event.  Ticket sales begin February 4th at 10:00AM at the Athens Senior Center at 912 West Pryor Street in Athens.  Tickets are $35.00 each and include dinner with the show that will run from 6:00PM-8:00PM.  Out-of-town guest wishing to attend and are unable to pickup tickets in person may call 256-232-0323.  Any remaining tickets from the February 4th ticket sale day will be available from 8:30AM-4:30PM Monday-Friday at the Athens Senior Center beginning February 6th.
