Since September 8, 1936, when Papa Dunn ran up the path to Dunbar Cave yelling, “It’s a boy, it’s a boy!”, Jimmy Dunn’s history coincides with that of Dunbar Cave’s. As a youth, Jimmy’s first job was to operate the popcorn machine by the cave entrance. Later he operated a concession stand by the pool.
Tonight he is giving a presentation, “Memories of Dunbar Cave”. He has pictures and stories to share. This presentation is free and open to the public. It starts at 7:00 p.m. at the Dunbar Cave Visitor Center.
