Bays Mountain Park, in partnership with the Friends of Bays History Committee, is proud to announce a special event happening at the park next month – Campfiref Taleswith renowned storyteller Dr. Hannah Harvey.
Sessions with Dr Harvey will take place at the park’s outdoor amphitheater on October 10th and 11th from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Park admission and tickets to the sessions are free both evenings thanks to our sponsor – Knoxville TVA Credit Union.
Combining the research of Bays Mountain historians with Hannah’s energetic storytelling style, Campfire Tales is sure to be an unforgettable evening of local lore, humor, and heart. A native of our area, Dr. Harvey is excited to bring stories of our own Bays Mountain and Appalachia to life in tales you will remember every time you drive up the mountain.
“Storytelling connects people to places. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Hannah Harvey to share stories that celebrate the spirit of Appalachia, and especially Bays Mountain,” said Brenda Fox, Chair of the Friends of Bays Events Committee. “It will be the perfect fall evening at Bays Mountain Park.”
The sessions are recommended for families, teens and adults with Friday’s program geared more towards kids, while Saturday’s is designed for older teens and adults.
Seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sessions will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather. Free s’mores will be provided from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and Ethan and Nora’s food truck will be on-site with hot dogs and beverages for purchase.
