It was 30 years ago today!

Yes, it’s time for another anniversary in 2025! It was 30 years ago on Saturday, June 24, 1995 that the National Lum and Abner Society held its 11th NLAS Convention in Mena, Arkansas! Our guest of honor was actor Parley Baer! Beloved children’s entertainer and Alabama TV star “Cousin Cliff” Holman also joined us for a special matinee to entertain the children (of all ages!). 2025 is the only year in NLAS history (until 2035, 2045, etc.) in which we celebrate four of these “decade anniversaries” of our NLAS Conventions: 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015! Stay tuned for two more! Below is a link to The Jot ‘Em Down Journal with our 1995 coverage of the event, plus a biography of Parley Baer!
