Copper Cellars brings more than tasty wines to town

On Thursday August 30, 2012 the newly opened Copper Cellars in Town Square brought to town a unique brand of entertainment, actually titled edu-tainment.

Storyteller and history buff LindaTeighland Clark, dressed in Hardluck Lin character, visited Copper Cellars to enchant, entertain, and educate wine tasters on the struggles of the early pioneers to California. Pulling from stories that have been passed down from generation to generation through her husbands family - one of the original settlers in the area - Linda weaves a tale of hardship and the will to survive.

Copper Cellars bringing edu-tainment to Copper

Copper Cellars in Town Square will be hosting a wine tasting – story telling – book signing event August 30, 2012 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

The story teller / edu-tainer will be none other than local story teller and Gold Rush era history buff Linda Clark aka Hardluck Lin, telling stories from her novel ‘The Small Window: The Story of Hardluck’s Beginning.’

With a natural love of history and a little push from being married into a family steeped in gold mining family history, Linda gravitated to the stories and the history of the period. What began as a school program of storytelling of Hardluck Lin’s tales to enhance the classroom’s goldrush experience quickly became an opportunity to write down Linda’s own experiences as Hardluck Lin. According to Linda, she broke all the ‘rules’ of writing when completing her novel, as she tried to force herself into a regime or schedule. Upon realizing that Hardluck Lin had her own way of telling the tale, the story told itself and Linda “ran after the story, panting and out-of-breath.”

Grand Opening for Copper Cellars a sweet treat
