What happens
Chautauqua Girl is a Canadian romantic drama television film, which was broadcast by CBC Television in 1984. Written by Jeannine Locke and directed by Robert Iscove, the film is set in 1921 and stars Janet-Laine Green as Sally Driscoll, a woman who is touring Western Canada as a representative of the travelling Chautauqua organization; arriving in the small town of Fairville, Alberta, she finds the town unprepared for the upcoming event but meets and falls in love with Neil McCallum (Terence Kelly), a widowed farmer who is running as a United Farmers of Alberta candidate in the imminent 1921 Alberta general election. The cast also includes Jackie Burroughs as Mrs. Ferguson, a pioneer woman in the community whose hard life has made her much older in appearance and spirit than her actual age. The film was shot in Alberta, primarily around Blackie and at Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary. It was broadcast by CBC Television on January 8, 1984. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
