Kay DeKalb Smith

Smith is a singer, speaker and comedian. She graduated from Morgan County High School and currently lives in Nashville, Tenn. While in Hartselle, she won the Miss Alabama Teenager pageant at age 17 and had an opportunity to share her testimony at a Billy Graham crusade during her reign.

“I am thrilled to have this opportunity to return home,” she said in a Hartselle Living story. “I told a friend, ‘This night is so important to me. It feels like my personal, Oscars!’

Smith, who was called the “Carol Burnett of Christian Entertainment,” will be featured during the Hartselle Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting at Hartselle High School March 31 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets to the annual meeting are $30 and include a meal and reserved seating in the auditorium. A reception begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner at 6 p.m.

General admission tickets to the show only are $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for children under 5.

“I have many funny stories and heart-warming remembrances to share,” I hope many people I have known through the years will attend. I can’t wait to hug you all!”
