Teddy Roosevelt helps J-MCA raise money

Written by

Joe Wiegand, regarded as the nation’s premiere Theodore Roosevelt impersonator, will bring the conservation-minded president to life during a fundraising dinner for the Jackson-Macon Conservation Alliance at 7 p.m. on Aug. 11 at the Cedar Creek Racquet Club.

Wiegand brings Roosevelt to life with an unparalleled grasp of history and an uncanny way of convincing the audience that they are in the company of the great Rough Rider president. All proceeds from the event will benefit the J-MCA. Tickets are $50, which includes dinner, dessert, and an hour long show. VIP tickets can be purchased for $75. Along with the dinner show, VIPs are invited to the pre-show champagne reception starting at 6 p.m. with hors d’ oeuvres and a meet and greet with Teddy himself.
