The upcoming schedule:
They Call Me Aunt Orlene
Friday, August 15, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
The name of Orlene Puckett is known to the millions of visitors who stop at the Puckett cabin milepost 189.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Carroll County, VA. A sign provided by the National Park Service offers a glimpse into the life of the lengendary midwife. "Aunt Orlene," as she was popularly known, learned the art of midwifery when she was in her mid-forties. She successfully delivered more than 1,000 infants in the counties of Carroll, Patrick, and Floyd. Puckett traveled on horseback or by foot to the homes of expectant mothers and never failed to reach a patient. When the mountain paths were snowy and covered in ice, she hammered nails into the soles of her shoes for traction. Of the 24 children she bore herself, none lived more than a few months. At the age of 94, Orlene Puckett delivered her last baby. One year later, she was forced from her cabin to accommodate construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Three weeks later, she died.
Performed by Phyllis Stump, a retired English teacher with three children and six grandchildren. She has written an award-winning book of poetry, The Heart Knows.
Time: 7:00 p.m.
General Admission: $10.00

Carter, Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter), whose first recordings (in 1927) are credited with giving birth to the commercial country music industry.
