LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Fan favorite Gene Cordova performed Friday morning at the La Follette Public Library, and the ventriloquist, puppeteer, comedian, and magician all rolled into one did not disappoint. “Gene is an all-time favorite,” said Nancy Green, director of the LaFollette Public Library.

Cordova’s 10 am performance, open to kids of all ages, concluded with a pizza party.

“Since I didn’t get to have a regular summer reading program this year, this is the library’s way of making it up to the kids by having Gene come and entertain them,” added Green.
