JOAN JETT to headline Mega Bash 2006 in May
from: Point Pleasant Register
by Kevin Kelly
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio - Rock and roll headliners JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS will be the main entertainment for Mega Bash 2006, the fund-raiser for the Children's Center of Ohio to be staged at the Gallia County Junior Fairgrounds May 26-27.
Jett, referred to by some critics as "the queen of punk," is the national recording artist promised for the event by its organizers, who are looking to use the proceeds from Megabash to help build a school for children served by the Children's Center of Ohio, improve its existing programs and update its facilities.
The Children's Center of Ohio is a 24-hour residential treatment facility caring for boys and girls in a variety of crisis situations, according to the center's Web site.
Many of the children served by the center are referred to the center by the courts and social service agencies to receive treatment for problems in their home, or legal issues resulting from troubled histories.
The center operates facilities near Patriot for boys and near Kitts Hill for girls.
Jett's performance will be the highlight of the Friday, May 26 portion of Megabash and is scheduled for around 7 p.m. She is expected to announce the winner of one of the prizes, a Harley Davidson classic Screaming Eagle motorcycle.
Saturday, May 27 includes cash and prize drawings every five minutes from noon until 7 p.m. for such items as a 2006 Retro Mustang to two plasma televisions.
Tickets for the May 27 drawings are $100 and are referred to as the Megabash tickets. Tickets for the Friday events are called Early Bird tickets and go for $10. To get an Early Bird ticket, however, a $100 Megabash ticket must be purchased.
For every $100 Megabash ticket that is bought, the holder can buy up to five Early Bird tickets for Friday's drawing for the Harley motorcycle. Each $10 Early Bird ticket allows the purchaser a chance on Harley motorcycle and admission to the Jett concert.
Holders of Megabash tickets for Saturday's events can bring guests for an additional $20, but everyone attending the Saturday event must be 18 and older.
Locally, tickets can be purchased at the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau, 61 Court St., Gallipolis, or by calling (740) 446-6882 or (740) 379-9086. For more information on the event, go to www.megabash.net.
