Young Chautauqua Performers

Intro:  Susan Hall

Topic:  In its 10th year; Two Rivers Chautauqua has excelled at bringing to the Grand Valley a very unique tradition.  Chautauqua is where historians give us the chance to interact with real characters from our past.  As part of this program, students from elementary school through high school are given the chance to personalize history and immerse themselves in the historical past, all in front of a live audience at the annual Chautauqua event held at Cross Orchards Historical Site.  This year’s event is September 18th and 19th.   

Bio:  Leading the Young Chautauqua program is Susan Hall, a retired teacher, a former Board Member for Colorado Humanities and a co-founding of Two Rivers Chautauqua.  Coming with Susan and to perform for us is Davis Sleigh, a 5th Grader from Pomona Elementary School and Katie Hartter, an 8th Grade home school student.  Katie will join us as Florence Nightingale while Davis will be Wyatt Earp.
