Bill Watson, pastor of First Christian Church in Owenton and respected storyteller, will be sharing his tales of history with a statewide audience at the Kentucky State Fair.
Although well-known for his portrayal of American Civil War solider “James,” Watson said this performance will focus on other stories of American history.
Watson will perform Aug. 27-28 at 3 p.m. in the northern wing of the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville as part of the Kentucky State Fair.
The event is free and open to the public.
“Hopefully, it will be a warm day and people will want to come into the air conditioning and stop by,” Watson said. “I think they will enjoy learning a little something they may have not known.”
Watson said he has also been invited to judge the Kentucky division of the National Youth Storytelling Showcase.
