Saturday, August 12th

5:00pm until 8:00pm
Those who remember Rogersville’s Davy Crockett Drama will find it difficult to believe that is has been over 45 since the last curtain call. The drama was written and performed by Rogersville’s citizens.
During the summer evenings from 1966 until 1971 the drama re-enacted the life of Davy Crockett. Davy’s grandparents were some of the first settlers in present day Rogersville and are buried at the Crockett Springs Park, not far from the site of their massacre.
 
Fans of the drama will be pleased to know that a reunion has been planned. A gathering of former cast members, extras, support personnel, anyone associated with the production, and anyone else who wishes to attend will be held on Saturday, August 12th, 2017 from 6:00 pm until 8:00pm at The Historic Hale Springs Inn in downtown Rogersville. Anyone interested in participating are more than welcome to drop in during those times.
 
To make the event as true to the period of the play, attendees are welcomed to wear their costumes or to dress in the style of the era. Original production props, costumes, and other memorabilia will be placed throughout the Inn.
 
McKinney’s Restaurant and Tavern and the Inn will be featuring a BBQ Buffet for the night. Accommodations for out of town guest are available at the Inn and other motels in Rogersville.
 
Guest arriving on Friday are also welcomed to attend the Main Street Organizations Cruise-In on the Square Event. It is held from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm and host antiques cars, great food, and live musical entertainment.
