I remember growing up watching I love Lucy on our black and white television. I didn't really become a fan until later on in life, as I watched many of the re-runs and realized just how funny she was.
Lucille Ball was born August 11, 1911 in Jamestown New York, and went on to have a long and successful career in Hollywood. She was the 1st woman to head a major production studio Desilu Productions.
Something that I never knew until later was Desilu produced many television series such as Mission Impossible and Star Trek.
The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival is held each year in Jamestown New York to honor Lucy. If you're a Lucy fan then you already know, Jamestown is where she was born and raised.
This years festival is bigger than ever, and will be held. 7/30 - 8/2 2015. But don't take my word for it follow the link below to see for yourself, the all star line and amazing events. There is still plenty of time to make your travel plans to this magnificent event.
