By Beacon Staff July 20, 2009

WHITEFISH – Actor Jamie Farr, who played Cpl. Maxwell Klinger in the “M.A.S.H.” TV series, is scheduled to be in Whitefish for a hospital fundraiser.

Money raised at the Aug. 28 event billed as the “M.A.S.H Bash” will be for equipment purchases and other needs at North Valley Hospital. Farr’s participation will include judging a Klinger look-alike contest.

He has remained active as an actor since the long-running TV series ended in 1983.
