Frank Carmichael was born here in Kenosha, Wisconsin, September 28, 1951. He was an entrepreneur from the beginning, booking bands, putting on shows and opening a teen club before he was 18. Then came movie theaters, mini golf and an ice cream store. Happenings Magazine was started nearly 50 years ago as a tool to help support the movie theaters and continues going strong today. In addition, he still publishes numerous other titles, amongst them; Smart Reader, Go Downtown and Summer Fever. Over the years, he has hosted numerous radio shows beginning with an overnight gig at WAXO while he was still in high school. Nowadays he can be heard Monday through Friday 8 AM to 11 AM on a.m. 1050 WLIP. You will also find him on stage introducing comedians most every Friday and Saturday night at the Kenosha Comedy Club, Thursday nights at the city co-sponsored PB&J, now 25 years strong, or working hard at one of the other events or activities he has created. Frank has been at the helm of many successful businesses and events, but of course there have been a few blunders along the way. Please join us on Thursday, September 24 as we take a humorous look back at Frank’s 75 years here in Kenosha. Hosted by the extraordinarily talented Mr. Showtime, featuring professional comedians, including Lucky Luciano and numerous surprise guests. It promises to be a night of fun and laughter.
