Fayro, Texas, is the scene. It’s a town sort of like ours — small, Southern, desperately in need of funds. To the rescue — of Fayro, not Anniston — are the Futrelle sisters, who have made it their duty to save the town by having, among other moneymaking ventures, a Civil War re-enactment to impress a rich prospector.

But Betty Donahue, relatively new to the area, will be well acquainted with the place after the next few months.

Artists in Action: Twists abound in opera 'St. George'
A happy ending is in store for those who see Jacksonville State University’s opera St. George and the Dragon, Jan. 15-16. Ten singers bring to life a twist-and-turn plot that, finally, results in heroism.

The party's on … the feeling's here … that only comes one time a year… we're simply having a wonderful Christmas time … To me, the words of this song are a fitting description of Christa Fair's annual December parties. True enough, the parties reflect easy-going elegance to her guests, but there's an equal measure of celebration and hard work in her giving the gift of an old-fashioned Christmas at her Leighton Avenue home.

Need a little pick-me-up for the holidays? Forget the extra cup of cappuccino or celebration punch. For a more lasting feeling of good will, take your family to see the Alabama Ballet perform The Nutcracker on Sunday, Dec. 6. The ballet's delightful and stirring story will keep you humming, and the event will be a memory long after the Christmas presents are put away and forgotten.

In the months before Christmas, you may think Santa spends all his time in his workshop. Wrong. If he's in town, on most mornings he's at Champion Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center in Oxford, working out.
