Finally, scholars William Worley, Jeffery Smith, Debra Conner and Hank Fincken—without them it would not have been possible!

| Route 66 Movie Theater in Webb City, Missouri. |
 |
| Debra Conner as Margaret Mitchell taking questions from the Chautauqua audience. |
 |
| Volunteer Leann from the audience helps Jeffery Smith in his performance of P. T. Barnum. Leann attended all four Chautauqua scholar performances and showed up in Webb City proudly wearing her MHC Chautauqua t-shirt that she received for helping Smith. |
 |
| Hank Fincken as Thomas Edison on stage at Carthage High School Auditorium. |
 |
| Rev. Matthew Roberts of Carthage's First Presbyterian Church performed Master of Ceremonies duties the night of Hank Fincken's performance. Behind him is the Heartland Band and its director Vickie Mayes. |

| Patricia Zahn of the Missouri Humanities Council, Dale Looney of the Powers Museum Board, and scholar William Worley (aka Walt Disney) show off the Webb City Sentinel's feature on Worley's presentation at the Webb City Public Library where he read "The Three Little Pigs." |

| Southwest Missouri's "contra" dancers circle the CHS stage and hide performers Baled Green and Wired Tight who entertained prior to Jeff Smith's P.T. Barnum presentation. If you would like to learn contra dancing, contact the Powers Museum for further details. |
