The Murray Lions Club is hosting a spaghetti dinner...with a twist! This will be a "dining in the dark" experience, which means that you'll eat blindfolded. There will be 1-2 sighted people at each table to provide verbal instructions, but you won't know who is blind and who is sighted until you get there.

As you know, one of the primary missions of the Lions Club is promoting vision health, and this dinner is intended to raise awareness for just how difficult it is to live life with vision impairment. There will be activity stations set up (a big thanks to the Kentucky School for the Blind!) to experience low vision, braille, and a mobility cane as well. Proceeds from the event will benefit Lions Club service projects as well as KY School for the Blind's Winsight camp, which provides an opportunity for blind and vision impaired high school students to experience life on a college campus, but in a safe and secure environment. This camp empowers these students and can foster self-confidence that can transform college from a dream to a reality.

This is a family friendly, casual event. Please reach out if you have any questions. Contact any Murray Lion for tickets.

For nearly 30 years, William Lee Martin has been making America laugh with his fast-paced, "PG...in 1985" brand of comedy-fun, a little edgy, but never filthy. His new tour, Red Dirt Comedy Presents: William Lee Martin - Seemed Smart at the Time, delivers another round of original, heartfelt storytelling that turns everyday life into side-splitting laughter.

A prolific writer, Martin refreshes his material every year, so no two tours are ever the same. The show kicks off the moment you enter, with a full audio-visual experience featuring music he's written himself.

Seen in his hit specials, popular tours like The Funny Life and Nuttier Cracker, and his podcast The Red Dirt Comedy Show, Martin's comedy is real, relatable, and full of heart. A proud family man and Texas cowboy at heart, he reminds us to laugh at life's absurdities and enjoy the ride.

If you want a comedy show that's as smart as it is hilarious-this is it!
