Upcoming Program: July 25

Dr. Thomas Walker: The Forgotten Founding Father

Long before Daniel Boone blazed a trail through the Cumberland Gap, Dr. Thomas Walker explored the Appalachian frontier. He became the first European known to document a journey through the Gap, recording details that contributed to later exploration of the region. Yet despite his accomplishments, his story is often overshadowed by more famous pioneers. Join us around the campfire as we share stories of his life and adventures, and discover how Dr. Thomas Walker contributed to the exploration and settlement of the American frontier.

• Date & Time: Saturday, July 25, at 7:00-8:00 PM
• Location: Wilderness Road Campground Amphitheater (854 National Park Rd., Ewing, VA 24248)
• Cost: Free

To make this evening truly elegant, we are following a strategy of *thrifting and upcycling* to ensure every possible dollar goes directly to the children. We need *YOUR* help to gather the following items and to help us decorate!

* *Silverware:* Actual silverware to accompany our gourmet meal.

🎨 *Calling All Decorators & Creatives!*
We have a massive task: transforming an entertainment center into a high-end gala hall. We are looking for *volunteer decorators* to join our team! If you have an eye for design, floral arrangements, or spatial planning, we need your talent to help:
* Drape heavy fabrics to soften industrial spaces.
