The United Way of Haywood County and The Haywood Volunteer Center are hosting an evening with Jeanne Robertson at 7 p.m. on June 7 at Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska.

Who is Jeanne Robertson? She is North Carolina’s own 6-foot, 2-inch tall former Miss North Carolina, who specializes in hilarious humor based on her own life experiences. This Miss Congeniality winner in the Miss America Pageant, “Yearrrrrrrrrrrs ago,” quoting Jeanne, uses her down-home Southern drawl to leave her audiences laughing … and thinking about her message.

Tickets are on sale at ticketfly.com and are $30 for reserved seating. For more information, visit www.jeannerobertson.com.

Proceeds from the event will benefit United Way of Haywood County’s Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Program and The Haywood Volunteer Center.
