The 26th Annual Stories from the Pumpkin Patch will be held Saturday, Oct. 12, from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site.
Crafts for young children will be held from 3 to 6 p.m., and hayrides for the family will be featured all evening as well as family friendly stories and spooky stories at the cave, warm apple cider, and food from local vendors.
Also, this year characters will reenact the iconic movie “Hocus Pocus’” Sanderson Sisters in the Tipton-Haynes historic cabin.
This year’s storytellers will be Libby Tipton, Terry Arrington and Tama Lunceford.
Libby Tipton will utilize a combination of sign, gesture, and voice to tell stories about her culture, subculture, and roots in a deaf Appalachian family. Terry, a native of southwest Virginia, has lived throughout the country and served in the United States Army.
Tama’s vivid imagination, expressive manner and colorful language touch minds and hearts through all kinds of stories; folktales, fairy tales, tall tales, personal, historical, and hysterical stories.
Each of the tellers will have several stories, including one story each to be told in the Haunted Cave.
Admission is $5 per adult and $2.50 for children 12 and under. Members are always free.
Tipton-Haynes is located at 2620 S. Roan Street in Johnson City.
