SUMMARY:Taste of Tennessee Appalachian Foodways Festival
DESCRIPTION:“All things edible\, all things Appalachian!” That is the motto of this year’s “Taste of Tennessee” festival\, taking place on Saturday\, June 18th in downtown Jonesborough. Taste of Tennessee is a day-long celebration of Appalachian food and foodways\, highlighting the history and culture surrounding the region’s cuisine. \n  \nYou may remember hearing about Taste of Tennessee in years prior\, although the COVID-19 pandemic forced the event into an entirely online format in August 2020 and a cancellation in September 2021. Despite those necessary changes\, approximately 4\,000 people attended the first event online\, participating in special programs like cooking classes\, historical demonstrations\, farm tours\, and more. \n  \nThis year\, The Heritage Alliance of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia is pleased to announce that the event will take place live and in-person\, with a similar dynamic and exciting program of activities. The festival will include live musical performances\, food\, special guest presentations\, vendors\, and contests. One of festival’s central features is a cake-baking competition for homecooks\, professionals\, and children\, where local residents are encouraged to show off their skills\, as well as their favorite dishes. A public tasting of the entries will be offered. Listening tickets for the lecture series\, starring some stellar panelists and demonstrators\, are available for purchase online at heritageall.org. \n  \nExecutive Director Anne G’Fellers-Mason and Programming Coordinator Megan Cullen Tewell hope that the event will bring people together to explore and celebrate Appalachian cuisine. This festival will take place from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and is completely family friendly. In addition to highlighting the work of local chefs\, farmers\, historians\, and food experts\, this day-long celebration also serves as a fundraiser for The Heritage Alliance and will benefit local hunger-fighting initiatives. \n  \nDescribing the event in years past\, Tewell explained that: “Our goal is to get people excited about Appalachian cuisine\, past and present. That’s our main objective with this event— to connect people to food and to each other.” The Heritage Alliance has partnered with numerous local entities\, including to highlight Appalachian foodways in a variety of contexts. \n  \nA complete program for Taste of Tennessee will be released shortly. Confirmed speakers include prominent chefs\, “foodies\,” farmers\, historians\, interpreters\, to name a few. And vendors will have artisanal goods available for purchase\, alongside food trucks offering local fare. Featuring historic recipes\, techniques\, and ingredients\, as well as modern spins on Appalachian classics\, Mason and Tewell hope that Taste of Tennessee helps the public to come together and enjoy a sense of community\, preferably one smothered in butter. \nTaste of Tennessee promises good times\, good company\, and good eats. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn more about our local food heritage on June 18th—and bring your appetite for Appalachia! Learn more and purchase tickets at heritageall.org or via Heritage Alliance on Facebook.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Nancy's Story at Telford Ruritan Club
DESCRIPTION:Due to a health emergency\, the performances of Nancy scheduled for this Saturday\, June 25th at the Telford Ruritan Club have been canceled. We are sorry to share this news\, and we apologize for the inconvenience this causes. Guests who bought tickets will be issued full refunds. Our plan is to reschedule this show for later in the year. As soon as we have that new date\, we will let you know.\n  \nIn 1820\, Elihu Embree published his newspaper The Emancipator on Main Street\, Jonesborough. The seven edition paper is the first publication dedicated solely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820. Even though the paper was short-lived\, The Emancipator had over 2\,000 subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spite of his abolitionist beliefs\, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was an enslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree\, and her story will be shared at the Telford Ruritan Club on Saturday\, June 25th in the original play entitled “Nancy.” \n  \nWritten by Anne G’Fellers-Mason\, Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance\, “Nancy” follows a year in the woman’s life\, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January 1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court. In his will\, Embree tried to free Nancy and her five children\, but were his wishes carried out? What was Nancy feeling and thinking during this time? The play is based on primary research relying heavily on documents from the Washington County Archives. The role of Nancy will be performed by local actress Ubunibi-Afia Short. “Nancy” won an Award of Excellence from the Tennessee Association of Museums and has been performed twice in the region to sold-out crowds. Do not miss your chance to see this powerful performance. \n  \n“It is an honor to bring the show to the stage at the Telford Ruritan Club\,” Mason says. “The Heritage Alliance is all about making connections with our community\, and we are so glad we can do that through Nancy’s story. We have performed this play in the Sarah Sevier Memorial Chapel at the Embree House Historic Farm and on a stair landing at Harris Hall at Washington College Academy. Nancy’s story can be shared just about anywhere. This time\, we’re taking to the stage in the old\, school auditorium. ” \n  \nThere will be two performances on June 25th at 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm. The show is a fundraiser for the Telford Ruritan Club and the Heritage Alliance. The show will be performed onstage in the old Telford School located at 101 Telford School Road.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Nancy's Story at Telford Ruritan Club
DESCRIPTION:Due to a health emergency\, the performances of Nancy scheduled for this Saturday\, June 25th at the Telford Ruritan Club have been canceled. We are sorry to share this news\, and we apologize for the inconvenience this causes. Guests who bought tickets will be issued full refunds. Our plan is to reschedule this show for later in the year. As soon as we have that new date\, we will let you know.\n  \nIn 1820\, Elihu Embree published his newspaper The Emancipator on Main Street\, Jonesborough. The seven edition paper is the first publication dedicated solely to the cause of abolitionism. Embree passed away in December of 1820. Even though the paper was short-lived\, The Emancipator had over 2\,000 subscribers and its reach went all the way to Boston and Philadelphia. In spite of his abolitionist beliefs\, Embree himself was an enslaver. Nancy was an enslaved woman owned by Elihu Embree\, and her story will be shared at the Telford Ruritan Club on Saturday\, June 25th in the original play entitled “Nancy.” \n  \nWritten by Anne G’Fellers-Mason\, Executive Director of the Heritage Alliance\, “Nancy” follows a year in the woman’s life\, from January 1820 when Elihu Embree wrote his will to January 1821 when his will was read before the Washington County court. In his will\, Embree tried to free Nancy and her five children\, but were his wishes carried out? What was Nancy feeling and thinking during this time? The play is based on primary research relying heavily on documents from the Washington County Archives. The role of Nancy will be performed by local actress Ubunibi-Afia Short. “Nancy” won an Award of Excellence from the Tennessee Association of Museums and has been performed twice in the region to sold-out crowds. Do not miss your chance to see this powerful performance. \n  \n“It is an honor to bring the show to the stage at the Telford Ruritan Club\,” Mason says. “The Heritage Alliance is all about making connections with our community\, and we are so glad we can do that through Nancy’s story. We have performed this play in the Sarah Sevier Memorial Chapel at the Embree House Historic Farm and on a stair landing at Harris Hall at Washington College Academy. Nancy’s story can be shared just about anywhere. This time\, we’re taking to the stage in the old\, school auditorium. ” \n  \nThere will be two performances on June 25th at 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm.
