Storyteller J.T. Turner narrates the classic Halloween thriller “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” to a sold-out audience Saturday at McLaughlin Garden & Homestead in South Paris. “We are so lucky to have him,” said Adrienne Cote while helping seat guests inside the historic barn. COVID-19 restrictions allow for 50 tickets and that is what was sold, said managing director Karla Horecky. Turner’s storytelling was the first event that was able to happen at the farmstead during the 2020 season because of the pandemic, said Horecky. The center typically holds about eight fundraising events each year. Turner, a Boston-based professional actor, said that this was his first live performance since March 5. He gave part of his fee back to the garden to benefit the center, said Horecky.
