Join us as renowned storyteller, Dolores Hydock, reminisces about Alabama’s Chandler Mountain community in this Alabama Bicentennial presentation.
Dolores brings the spirit and voices of the mountain to life in this funny and tender story of strong women and Southern hospitality. Bonnets, bow-tie quilts, poke salad, tomato stakes, the recipe for Scripture Cake, an old-timey cure for hiccups and other folk remedies, superstitions and family stories are all part of this affectionate portrait of a close-knit mountain community in the 1970s, where modern-day life mixed with old-fashioned ways. In a blend of Alabama history, folklore and storytelling, Dolores creates a portrait of a moment when folk traditions are forced to blend with modern ways. This presentation is free to the public.
