37th Providence Newspaper Guild Follies | February 26

Posted on February 24, 2010 by The Ocean State Republican

Update: The RIRA’s supply of tickets for the Providence Newspaper Guild Follies is completely sold out. If you want a ticket, you’re on your own. You can try calling the Guild office at 401-421-9466, but no guarantees. You’ll probably end up in the nose-bleed section, if you get in at all.

For quite a few years now, the Rhode Island Republican Assembly has had reserved tables for Republicans at the annual Providence Newspaper Guild Follies. Assuming that The Providence Journal doesn’t shutter its doors by February 26th (cross your fingers!), this year will be no exception!

Because this great event has long-since outgrown Rhode Island’s ability to contain it, and sales tax is still cheaper in Massachusetts, the Follies will be held on Friday, February 26th at 7:00 PM just over the border at the [in]famous Venus de Milo Restaurant , 75 Grand Army Highway (Route 6) in Swansea, MA.

This popular dinner and political satire show is attended by every politician, activist, and news media personality in Rhode Island’s political scene, for a total of about 1,250 people. Tickets are $60.00/person. A spectacular buffet dinner is included, and of course, the big show. So far, RIRA has reserved two tables (20 seats), with the option of reserving more if there is additional demand.

Please note that since this is a union-held event, the audience does tend to skew Democratic / leftist, so if you are a Republican / conservative and want to sit with us (for your own safety), please contact RIRA President Raymond McKay right away at president [at] ri-ra [dot] org . These tickets are definitely going fast, so do not wait, as this event always sells out. You do not want to end up on the dreaded waiting list!
