LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Senior Activity Center's Hot August Nites is looking for local amateur celebrity impersonators to go “back to the 50s” for this summer fundraiser.

All 1950s personalities are fair game, such as James Dean, Ed Sullivan, Wolf Man Jack, Brenda Lee, Ricky Arnaz and Lucille Ball, or Lawrence Welk – anyone prominent in the 1950s.

“Don’t let this chance pass you by,” said Pat Skoog, chair of the event's impersonators committee.

“Let your inner Elvis or Marilyn out and have fun for a good cause,” added center Director Jonathan Crooks.

Tryouts will be Monday, May 20, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center, 527 Konocti Avenue in Lakeport.

All contestants must be in costume and bring their own music on CD. The center will provide a CD player.

There will be three winners, who have the option to perform/lip sync on stage for the Hot August Nites dinner-dance in August.

All contestants will be invited to come in costume to the August event and join in the fun.

“Bring your own rooting section and stay to enjoy a delicious 50s root beer float while the judging takes place,” said Skoog.

For additional information, call 707-263-4218, Monday thru Friday, between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
