SUMMARY:Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star
DESCRIPTION:The Jackson Theatre will present Vernon Dalhart: First Country Music Star on Friday\, April 17 at 7:00pm\, in partnership with the International Storytelling Center. This special evening of words and music celebrates one of the most influential recording artists of the 1920s and 1930s.\n\nVernon Dalhart was the first artist to record a million-selling country hit with the two-sided 78 RPM disc featuring “The Wreck of the Old ’97” and “The Prisoner’s Song.” Both recordings are enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame\, and Dalhart was later inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A prolific artist by any standard\, he made more than 4\,000 recordings between 1916 and 1939.\n\nDespite his massive impact\, Dalhart’s legacy has often been overlooked. Many legendary performers\, including Dolly Parton\, Marty Robbins\, Johnny Cash\, Willie Nelson\, Doc Watson\, Bill Monroe\, and Mac Wiseman\, have covered songs first recorded by Dalhart\, helping to carry his influence through generations of American music.\n\nDrawing on five years of research\, music historian Dr. Ted Olson will share the story of Dalhart’s diverse career and explore why his contributions have faded from the spotlight. Jack Hinshelwood\, a multi-instrumentalist and singer\, will provide the live soundtrack\, performing faithful renditions of classics such as “Wreck of the Old ’97\,” “The Prisoner’s Song\,” “Home on the Range\,” “Jesse James\,” “The Big Rock Candy Mountains\,” “My Blue Ridge Mountain Home\,” and more songs that helped shape early country music.\nThis event is part of the Jackson Theatre’s ongoing collaboration with the International Storytelling Center\, highlighting shared programming rooted in storytelling and music.\n\nTickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show. Tickets and more information are available at thejacksontheatre.com.\n\n#####

SUMMARY:Exchange Place Spring Garden Fair
DESCRIPTION:We may have had a milder-than-usual winter\, but residents of Northeast Tennessee know that spring does not officially arrive until we can begin to look forward to the annual Spring Garden Fair at Exchange Place Living History Farm. So put on your best plantin’ duds\, because the oldest garden fair in our region — this will be its 33rd consecutive year! — will be held on Saturday\, April 29\, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.\, and Sunday\, April 30\, from noon until 5 p.m.\, at the 1850s farmstead located at 4812 Orebank Road in Kingsport.\nA true celebration of heritage farming and heirloom gardening\, the Spring Garden Fair is a favorite of area gardeners\, from novice to expert\, with offerings that include rare and hard-to-find plants as well as tried-and-true favorites. Thousands of plants will be for sale — perennials\, annuals\, trees and shrubs — with the emphasis on herbs\, native and heirloom plants including a wide variety of heirloom tomatoes. Folk and yard artisans will be selling their wares as well.\nThis year the festival is adding a very special gardening event. The UT Extension Master Gardener Class will sponsor the Back-Porch Garden Sale\, inside the Roseland building\, where folks will be able to find all kinds of new and used garden items for sale\, including pots\, hypertufa containers\, plants\, gardening magazines\, books and much more. Need advice to make your yard look beautiful? The Master Gardeners will be on hand at their Plant Clinic/Information table to answer your questions. Experts will offer information about the Perennial Plant of the Year\, Asciepias tuberosa\, more commonly known as the Butterfly Weed. And there will also be projects and activities on the Back Porch for children to make and take.\nThroughout the weekend\, craftspeople and volunteers will demonstrate springtime activities typically found on a nineteenth-century farm. Over by the Roseland-side barn\, the Overmountain Weavers Guild continues their long tradition of “Sheep to Shawl\,” where they card (clean\, separate and straighten) our sheep’s wool\, spin it into yarn and weave the yarn into cloth — all within hours. This year\, the weavers plan to make a scarf on Saturday\, while the popular shearing of the sheep will take place on Saturday at 1:00 pm and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.\nAcross the road on the historic farm side of Exchange Place\, the hearth kitchen will be filled with wonderful aromas as the Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society churns butter on Saturday\, and then prepares spring tansies (puddings) and seasonal vegetables on Sunday. Our Junior Apprentices\, meanwhile\, will be in the garden offering insights into our heirloom plants. The blacksmith’s shop will be active all weekend as Will Vogt from Graysburg Forge and Catherine Shook\, a recent graduate of the John C. Campbell Folk School\, will demonstrate the importance of a blacksmith on an antebellum farm.\nA wide variety of hands-on children’s activities will be found all around the farmstead\, and your young’uns will certainly want to say hello to our resident animals\, including Delilah (our cow)\, Jenny (our donkey)\, and our three horses\, plus our sheep and Guinea hogs.\nTwo other popular features of the Garden Fair will be back again. Retired World Champion Whimmy Diddler Will Hines of Greeneville will be on hand to direct the 8th Annual Edens Ridge Whimmy Diddle Competition at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Open to all ages\, Mr. Hines and others will be under the main tent\, just a few yards away from the Preston House\, starting at 2 p.m.\, to offer valuable pointers and practice time prior to the contest\, in which the winners will receive trophies made by local woodworker Gary Albertson. Meanwhile\, on Saturday\, Linda Doan will be leading a Maypole decoration and dance. Brought to this country by our European ancestors\, it is a traditional and colorful celebration of spring.\nMusic fills the air during the Spring Garden Fair. A smorgasbord of local talent is scheduled to perform throughout the weekend; a complete schedule is listed below. (Please note\, however\, that it is always subject to last-minute changes.) And don’t worry\, if you get hungry or thirsty\, baked goods\, lunch\, drinks and snacks (including the ever-popular kettle corn!) will be available.\nThe Spring Garden Fair strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible with recycling\, composting\, and re-using. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own plant carriers and to bring used nursery pots for recycling/reusing. To help gardeners reduce runoff and save water\, Rain Barrel Kits will be available once again for $40 (check or cash)\, as long as supplies last. The 55-gallon food-grade plastic barrels (which can easily be painted) are already fully assembled and ready to go home with you and begin collecting rainwater.\nAdmission is $3 for adults and is free for children under the age of 12. Proceeds from the event helps keep our animals fed and with the restoration and upkeep of the site\, which is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\nExchange Place is a non-profit\, volunteer-run living history farm\, educational facility and regional attraction that seeks to preserve\, protect\, interpret\, and manage the history\, heritage\, and artifacts pertaining to mid-19th century farm life in Northeast Tennessee.
