What's news this week in Crittenden County...

"Uncle Myron's Christmas Review" debuts Saturday at Fohs Hall

If Fohs Hall Community Arts Foundation’s Christmas play “Uncle Myron’s Christmas Review” isn’t enough to put you in the holiday spirit, then certainly the story of one of its main characters will do the trick. Paul Combs, the 11-year-old son of Rev. David Combs and his wife Becky, will play the part of Alex, patriarch of a contemporary family struggling with the expectations and difficult emotions that Christmas can sometimes present.
