This special episode is titled “Tell Me a Story: Radio Show Greatest Hits,” and will feature popular stories and fan favorites from the past fifteen seasons, like Leon Overbay’s beloved tales from Boone’s Creek and the hilarious recollection of working at the Farm to Table Dinner! Cast members who haven’t been in the show for a while will be back on the McKinney Center stage, ready to celebrate. Drawn from true stories collected throughout Jonesborough and the Tri-Cities region, the skits range from heartwarming to outright funny. This month’s musical guest is local band Mr. Fancy, making their Radio Show debut. You won’t want to miss their country/rock tunes!
