Media Lions Club Keystone Kops

1950

The performance of the Keystone Kops was part of the 8-day Media Centennial Celebration in June 1950. The Kops "punished" beardless men who had not purchased the required "Beardless Permits," which were sold by the Lions Club leading up to this event. The club also held a Beard contest in which more than a hundred men participated. See Zimmerman Photograph Collection for many related photos.
