The Museum Center at Five Points, in conjunction with the present Vanishing Appalachia exhibit has received a donation of $1,200 from Jordan Fabricating Inc., a local manufacturer, to fund two programs on June 9 with Dough Elliott, nationally known herbalist, humorist and storyteller.

As part of his day in Cleveland, Elliott will conduct a wildwoods “ramble” at Fletcher Park the afternoon of June 9, where he will share his training as an herbalist and naturalist. In the evening he will share his unique brand of storytelling, music and humor at the Cleveland Public Library.

Jordan Fabricating Inc., owned by local residents Steve Jordan and Denny and Rebecca Mobbs, fabricate from steel, stainless steel, aluminum and titanium capital equipment for industrial customers within the Southeast Tennessee region.

Mobbs stated the firm is pleased to support the event but even more pleased to see the Museum Center becoming the cultural and arts center for the entire region.
