Thursday, March 20th -6pm – Grandpa Jones Country Musician and Comic -1913-1998~~Public Invited

Louis Marshall Jones, better known as Grandpa, was the son of Henderson County sharecroppers.  Hard times drove the family north to Akron, Ohio in the late 1920’s.  Jones, who had a repertoire of songs learned from his parents and the radio, won a talent contest that led to regular work on an Akron radio station.  That launched a career that lasted more than sixty years.  Come enjoy a Chautauqua performance of Grandpa Jones hosted by the Casey County Friends of the Library and the Kentucky Humanities Council.  This will also be our awards ceremony night and will take place at the Lights of Liberty theater.
