Chautauqua performance (Farmington)
Come experience Kay Kuhlman "The Way You Ride the Trail (Dave Evans). Dale Evens appears as a Chautauqua character in "The Way You Ride the Trail."

The audience meets Dale at two stages in her life: as a film, TV, and recording artist while raising a blended family of seven children; and as an inspirational author. Kuhlman has been creating and performing historical characters for 20 years. Her Characters have been featured at the National Archives, six presidential libraries, and at museums and arts centers across the country.
