The multiple award-winning Mountain Music and Medicine Show will host its final show Saturday after a 12-year run at the Historic Holly Theatre in Dahlonega. The old-time live radio variety show is set between the Gold Rush era of the early 1800s to the 1950s in Dahlonega when the fictional “Doc” Johnson’s traveling Miracle Medicine Show came to town to peddle “Wizard Water” elixir and showcase local musical acts. “When we started this, we wanted to make sure we depicted Appalachia in an accurate, but humorous, way,” said longtime show writer and producer, Mel Hawkins.
