Noted Chautauquan Kim Harris will perform “The Life of Annie Roberts” during the Carson City Historical Society’s Aug. 27 picnic lunch and auction.
The picnic at the Carriage House, catered by John Hurzel of “A Catered Affaire,” will be followed by Harris’ performance.
Harris has spent more than a year researching the details of Annie Roberts, the woman who lived in the historical Roberts House.
Harris is an accomplished Chautauquan who has portrayed living history characters at various venues including Genoa Cowboy Festival, Pipers Opera House, the Gold Hill Hotel, Granlibakken, Dangberg Historic Park and The Lake Tahoe Chautauqua Festival.
There also will be a silent auction set in the various rooms of the Foreman-Roberts House, featuring commission sales of valuable items from our members and possibly one or two surplus items from the inventory of the Carson City Historical Society.
Tickets are limited and priced at $36 for members and $40 for non-members. Given what we know is going to be a unique and exciting event, you must pre-purchase your tickets by Aug. 20 from Paula Cannon at 775-887-8865. Only fully paid members will be eligible to enter items in the Silent Auction.
