Monroeville/Monroe County Chamber - Event Information

Event Name:
Footprint on the Sky with storyteller Dolores Hydock

Event Type(s):
Monroe County Museum

Description:
Monroe County Museum will once again host master storyteller Dolores Hydock, who will present her original work Footprint on the Sky: Stories from Chandler Mountain, a story of strong women, Southern hospitality and the generous spirit of a close-knit mountain community. Bonnets, bow-tie quilts, tomato stakes and an old-timey cure for hiccups – they’re all part of this funny and touching portrait of an Alabama mountain community in the 1970’s.
 
"Dolores Hydock's Footprint on the Sky is like a quilt, the patches of which bring you into Alabama mountain country in the 1970s. You meet characters cooking, quilting, picking tomatoes, singing, and talking about remedies, like putting buttermilk on poison ivy. When Footprint is over, you've met people so real, you want to thank them for their hospitality."  Jay O’Callahan, Winter Olympics Bard and Master Storyteller
Hydock’s program will be presented in the world famous courtroom on Thursday, February 6 at 5:30 pm
as a special feature of the Museum’s annual month-long Quilt Exhibit and is made possible through the Alabama Humanities Foundation.  The program is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served following the program.
 
The quilt exhibit will showcase quilts on loan from all over south Alabama and will run from February 3rd through February 28th during the museum’s regular opening hours of Monday – Friday, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and Saturdays, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.  The exhibit is free and open to the public.
