In the spring of 1989, Ball was meant to attend the commencement ceremony at Jamestown Community College and receive an honorary degree from the institution, and during the same weekend she planned to attend the Lucille Ball Festival of New Comedy, which she had developed in cooperation with the Arts Council of Jamestown, but she died shortly before the scheduled event. In 1991, the National Comedy Center established the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, which is now held every August to honor Ball's August 6 birthday. In 2025, Mike Butler was named the Honorary Grand Marshall Of The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival due to his years of unwavering support for the festival and his unmatched devotion as a fan of Lucille Ball. ==References==
