Chautauqua proposition for Dothan hangs on tickets
Secretary Biggers of the Southeast Alabama Chautauqua Association says the future of another Dothan chautauqua rests on ticket sales. Over 600 dollars worth of tickets have sold, but subscription efforts and audience turnout must rise to fund an auditorium and attract an assembly this spring. The event drives visitors and uplift, and the association will strive to secure the assembly and the new auditorium.
