|
In
Townsend: The Seventh Annual ChristyFestTM will take place in Townsend,
Tennessee during July 24-27th, 2003. Enjoy the celebration of
the series/movies "Christy" based on the novel
"Christy" by Catherine
Marshall. Meet other fans, mingle with cast and crew of
the series, learn more
about the book, series and time
period. |
A remarkable
American phenomenon continues in July, as fans of renown writer
Catherine Marshall gather in Townsend, Tennessee to celebrate her
classic novel, "Christy," as well as the late, lamented CBS
television series and Pax Network movies of the same name. The
annual ChristyFestTM attracts fans of all ages, including entire
families. They have the opportunity to mingle with their favorite
actors and experience the Great Smoky Mountains where the CBS
series was filmed and near where the real life story, upon which
the novel was based took place.
Loosely based on the experiences of her mother,
Lenora Wood, Catherine Marshall's novel follows the fictional
adventures of Christy Huddleston, an innocent 19 year old that
leaves her privileged Asheville North Carolina life in 1912 to
teach at a Smoky Mountain Mission School. The internationally
acclaimed best-selling book and television productions chronicle
the spirituality of the people of Cutter Gap, as well as the
difficulties or their isolated mountain lives.
