Comedian Ryan Daniels will kick off the show by opening for Douglas. Daniels is a regular at comedy clubs from Michigan to Florida. Tales of being a bachelor in the 21st Century to being an uncle are said to make his act full of laughs.

“We are very excited about our line-up this year,” said Julie Clark, the trustee chairman at the Elks. “We always receive compliments on the entertainment and the food. It’s a sell-out event. This is the ideal event for people looking for something special to do in the area. And, we’ve kept the price tag very reasonable for a fun evening out that won’t break the bank. I’m looking forward to another successful event.”

The Niles Elks Lodge is a fraternal organization committed to assisting children and veterans in the community. The organization regularly supports athletic teams, Project Graduation, South Side Prom, veteran in the area, school projects, holiday food baskets, Sunday Funday for the special needs community and more. Net proceeds from the event will contribute to the Lodge’s local charity efforts.

Tickets are available at the Lodge for $20 and include the appetizer buffet and dessert table. Those interested are encouraged to make reservations. Tickets can be reserved or purchased between 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays at the lodge, located at 1322 Canal St. For more information call (269) 683-0133.
