Originally, this information was posted by Marge Padgitt ( margepadgitt) at IMDb. ( It has been consolidated.) Ginger Rogers Festival in Independence, MO July 15-16, 2017 We are hosting a Ginger Rogers festival in the city of her birth - Independence, Missouri on July 15-16, 2017, over Ginger's Birthday. Plans include a tour of the house Ginger was born in, which is currently under renovation to restore it to original condition and appearance. We are also holding a silent auction, presentations, a dinner, and a fundraising banquet. We are seeking speakers for this event who are experts on Ginger Rogers, and items she wore or owned that would be of interest for people to see (on loan). Ideas and donations are welcome. Note: the City of Independence, hosted Ginger Rogers Day in 1994, on her birthday, and Ginger appeared and visited all day. Watch for more info at the new website: www.thegingerhouse.org. Also, If you want to keep updated on the Ginger House Museum and Festival, Please contact me privately. Sincerely, Marge Padgitt, Director, The Ginger House mp@thegingerhouse.com 816-833-1602

The Pharoah 4 Cinema has agreed to have a Ginger Rogers film festival on July 16 in conjunction with the Ginger Rogers Festival in Independence, MO. They will show FOUR movies on that day... ...And would like to know what movies people would like to see on the big screen! Please let me know what you suggest! Their first choice is Top Hat, which I think is a good idea. What do you think? www.thegingerhouse.org. Marge Padgitt, Director, The Ginger House mp@thegingerhouse.com 816-833-1602
