John Ratzenberger Coming To Columbus To Talk About Trade

John Ratzenberger, known for playing the postman on Cheers, will be in Columbus early next month to host a town hall forum called “Keep it Made in America”. The town hall will focus on preserving American manufacturing.

If your interested in going the event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 8, at The Columbus Athenaeum, 32 N. Fourth Street. Doors open at 6 P.M., the event starts at 6:30. Admission is free and is open to the general public.

The conference will also visit these other cites as well:

  • Tuesday, September 25th - Manchester, NH
  • Wednesday, October 17th - Des Moines, IA
  • Thursday, November 8th - Columbus, OH
  • Tuesday, November 13th - Pittsburgh, PA
  • Thursday, November 29th - Buffalo, NY

They've also got plans for stops in Chicago and South Carolina, though dates haven't been announced yet.

More information on the events can be found on the "Keep It In America" page of the Alliance for American Manufacturing website. There's no word as to whether or not everybody at the conference will know your name.

I saw recently where he filled in for someone else on Dancing with the Stars. I wondered how well he did. My image of him isn't that graceful, but it's probably not a fair image.

I always liked his character. At our church once, we did a skit based on the show cheers. Very odd, a Baptist church with a skit about a bar. I played Cliff Claven.

Is he in to politics now? Or business? What credentials does he have for a talk about trade?

He hosts a show on the Travel Channel called "Made in America". I assume they'll also have some experts on hand though, he's just listed as the host.
