More than 7,000 tickets have been sold for the July 31 show at the MetroCentre by comedic and controversial ventriloquist Jeff Dunham.
Staff say it’s not technically a sellout yet, but only a few single seats remain, and a suite may open up. For more information, call 815-968-5222.

For months, abstract artist Roni Golan has been getting local folks to laugh about whatever it is they’re doing through a laughing club at his Rockford studio, Golan Lieberman Gallery, 2209 E. State St.
Now, he and others he’s joining forces with are offering classes on “life regression — exploring your previous life through a journey in time,” speaking peacefully, breath therapy and more yukking-it-up experiences through yoga. He’s calling the new venture of classes “In Balance.”
