From the Post-Gazette:
On Thursday evening at Rockwell’s Red Lion Restaurant in Elizabeth, Boucher again will don his drop-front pants, white colonial shirt, gentleman’s vest and wide-brimmed hat and portray Walker at the John Walker Dinner, which this year kicks off the town’s first Lewis and Clark Festival, four days of reenactments, storytelling, hayrides, campfires, a fishing contest and demonstrations of early 19th-century crafts, music and dance.
The festival, which the Monongahela River Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation hopes to produce annually, is an opportunity for the Mon Valley town to celebrate its history and educate another generation of children about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Hours are 9 a.m. to about 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m. to about 3 p.m. Sunday. Events take place at Elizabeth Elementary School, the Grand Theatre, along Plum Street and other sites. Information: 412-384-3909.
