Tour de Donut hits the film festival circuit

"Tour de Donut: Gluttons for Punishment," the documentary about the Tour de Donut bicycle "race" in Staunton, Ill., will be shown at two film festivals in the coming weeks.

The film will be shown Monday, Feb. 26, at the Big Muddy Film Festival in Carbondale, Ill. The movie is part of the festival's "A Little Humor" program. The program begins at 9 p.m. at Southern Illinois University's Student Center Auditorium. Admission is $3.

It also will be shown March 9-11 at the Lake County Film Festival in suburban Chicago. The March 9 (5:25 p.m. and 7:35 p.m.) and March 10 (2:30 p.m.) screenings will take place at the Civic Center in Libertyville, Ill., 135 W. Church St., while the March 11 (2:15 p.m.) screening will be at Libertyville High School, 708 W. Park Ave.

Also, I've just posted the trailer for the movie at the film's Web site. Hopefully, it will whet your appetite to see the entire film, buy it, ride your bicycle and eat a few doughnuts!

Hey Roger! Steve and I want to thank you so much for posting this info. The screening at the Big Muddy Film Festival was terrific. 35 to 40 people showed up (which I thought was great for 9 p.m. on a Monday night). The crowd was appreciative and I actually sold a few copies there, too.
Gratefully,
Jim Klenn
