Hotel Lakeside Celebrates 140 Years

Hotel Lakeside, a notable National Historic Landmark, will celebrate its 140th Anniversary this summer. Lakesiders are invited to a Birthday

Celebration on the Hotel Lakeside lawn from 1:15-1:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2 during Heritage Day.

Built in 1875 during the beginning of the Chautauqua
Movement, the historic Hotel Lakeside sits stoically along the Lake Erie shore, a one-of-a-kind edifice representing the architecture and history of another era.

Throughout the years, the hotel has provided accommodations for many famous guests, including President William McKinley, Rutherford B. Hayes, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart.

The original Hotel Lakeside was built in 1875 for $14,000

and included the west wing and dining room. In 1879, an annex was built with an additional 60 rooms, but it was not until 1890 that the two structures were connected.

In a world where toys pretend to be lifeless, Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), a pull-string cowboy doll, and his group of toy followers owned by Andy (voice of John Morris), are

preparing for his family to move to a new home.

With only one week before the move, Andy's mom throws him a birthday party. Woody and the rest of the toys stage a mission to investigate all the new toys Andy receives at the

Lakeside Symphony Orchestra Concert with

The Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO), under the direction of Robert Cronquist, will present a concert accompanied

by internationally-acclaimed and Grammy Award-winning pianist Angelin Chang as the featured

soloist.

The concert will open with a performance of Carl Maria von Weber's "Overture to Oberon." One of the finest overtures in the repertoire, it has been a concert favorite since its debut
in 1826.

The program also includes "Watermusic" by George Handel, which was written for King George I for a barge trip on the River Thames. The LSO's performance has been arranged for modern orchestra by Sir Hamilton Harty.

Wednesday, Aug. 5

Bits 'N Pieces Puppet Theatre "Rip Van Winkle"

Bits 'N Pieces Puppet Theatre will present their original musical adaptation of Washington Irving's

classic short story, Rip Van Winkle, this week in Hoover Auditorium.

Nine-foot-tall puppets will take Irving's great adventure to new heights with singing, dancing and games for the Lakeside audience.

The group was founded in 1973 in Tampa, Fla., by Executive Producer Jerry Bickel. In the beginning, the puppeteers used traditional forms of puppetry and combined many different types of puppets to create their productions.

Thursday, Aug. 6

The Good Lovelies

The Good Lovelies will once again bring their three-part harmony and instrumental talents to the Hoover

Auditorium stage for Lakesiders to enjoy.

Funny and upbeat with just a little sass, The Good Lovelies' harmonies,

constant instrument swapping and witty onstage banter have enlivened the folk music landscape since they joined forces.

Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore came together as The Good Lovelies, a folk-pop band, for their first show at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel in 2006. Nine years later, the group's touring schedule is filled with performances around the world.

Friday, Aug. 7

Lakeside Symphony Orchestra Concert "An Evening
in Vienna"

The Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO), under the direction of Robert

Cronquist, will present
"An Evening in Vienna," featuring soprano soloist Dorota Sobieska.

Sobieska will charm the Lakeside audience with arias and songs featuring the popular music of Johann Strauss.

Strauss' "Fledermaus Overture" will open the program. He turned to writing for the theatre in 1871, but it was not until 1874, when Fledermaus was produced, that he then became
known as the "Operetta King."

This collection of waltzes and polkas makes the overture a rare blend of Viennese gaiety and French drollery. Following the selection will be "Roses from the South."
