Emma Dupree was an original Earth Day champion long before anyone thought of that designation. Please join us in Fountain as we celebrate her life and legacy with a day of activities.
And when you’ve got 30 minutes, watch this 1978 documentary that follows her around her Fountain backyard with some ECU medical students.
And help us all celebrate Emma Dupree’s healing legacy at the 4th annual Emma Dupree Day, Saturday, April 16, 2022.
10:00 a.m. Unveiling of historic marker, at corner of US 258 [N. Railroad St.]/ Mills St.
11:00 a.m. Emma Dupree Remembered, at Fountain Presbyterian Church.
Lunch: Original plans included a community lunch but current conditions have forced us to cancel this portion of today’s events. Bring along a lunch and enjoy it in the church Fellowship Hall or on our grounds, or continue the celebration with a free lunch back on US 258 [N. Railroad St.] in the parking lot outside the warehouses near the marker site. Sponsored by James and Michelle Edwards, this event is in memory of the late Bobby Earl Henry and will include give-aways and prizes.
