🍁 EVENT UPDATE FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 🍁

Due to the forecast for inclement weather, we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL the outdoor Fall Into Autumn activities at Pavilion Park scheduled for tomorrow.

We certainly wish Mother Nature had cooperated, but the safety and comfort of our vendors, volunteers, performers, and guests must come first.

🎭 BUT THE STORIES WILL GO ON!

TALES FROM THE FRONT PORCH III will take place AS SCHEDULED inside The Russell Theatre beginning at NOON!

Join us for an afternoon of wonderful storytelling, Appalachian traditions, laughter, and music, including our special finale with Lightnin' Charlie & Beth Dollinger! ⚡

🎟️ Admission: $15
📍 The Russell Theatre — Lebanon, VA
🎟️ www.therusselltheatre.com

We appreciate everyone who planned to join us outside and hope you'll come inside, pull up a seat, and enjoy some great stories!
