(KWNO)-Mark Twain is considered perhaps the greatest America humorist ever and one of the best writers of all time, penning the classics The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). Twain’s quick wit and humor comes back to life Saturday in Fountain City. The Stories of Mark Twain at Merrick State Park features professional storyteller Michael Scott portraying Twain. This is a free event, but a valid annual or daily vehicle sticker is required to enter the park. The show starts at 7:00 p.m.
