The much anticipated Richard Karn Festival has been confirmed by city hall according to a reliable source close to Moobs. The festival is to be held next year along the Portland Waterfront and will coincide with the Rose Festival running from June 7th through the 9th. Apparently a request was made by Navy Admiral Arliegh Burke who wanted the Karn festival to run along with fleet week. The Navy is a huge fan of Karn and may plan to make him an honorary ensign.
Local economist Fred Turner said The Karn Festival could bring a “multi-million dollar boost to the economy, those are the types of numbers he brings.” At first it was indicated that the three day festival would focus around his work as Al Borland on the hit series Tool Time. However, festival organizer Tim Johnson said this is a celebration of Karn as “whole performer.”
Day one of the festival is set to celebrate the actor’s work as a game show host, from his work on The Family Feud, to his work as the host of Bingo America and also as the pitchman for the ladder the Little Giant. Day two of the festival is set to honor the actor for his work in film. The actor has appeared in such films as Air Bud Seventh Inning Fetch and MVP: Most Vertical Primate. Day three of the festival will be a celebration of his work in Tool Time. Tim Allen has been confirmed as a guest on day three, as well as his neighbor Wilson, however he will only be appearing from behind a fence.
Tickets will be going on sale soon, stay tuned.
