The curtains have closed, the costumes have been stored away, and the set is com- ing down. Another Rialto Play- ers production has come and gone. We’re happy that we did it and sad that it’s over. Time to say “thank you” to everyone involved. To our directors, our cast, and our crews, thank you for your months of long hours of work and never-ending dedication. This was a huge undertaking and it definitely took a village to pull it off. To all of those folks who lent us hard-to-find props and cos- tumes, thank you. Not every- body has a leg lamp just lying around. To Charlotte and the Head- light for letting me take up so much space writing about the production, thank you. I love to write about what we do at the Rialto, and I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do so without you. To all of our families who put up with us while we do what we do for the love of the theater, thank you. Life can return to normal now and your support means more to us than we can ever say. And to all of our audience members who came to see us do what we do, thank you. We hope you have an absolutely wonder- ful time! Without all of you, there would be no reason. For any of it. We’re already in the planning stages for our spring production and thinking about possibilities for next fall. With “A Christmas Story” over, we really don’t take much of a break. We’re already excited about getting on to the next production! If you have an interest in live theater, please plan to join us next year! The Arts Center isn’t dark for the rest of this year, though. The quilt exhibit is still up in the Gallery and is open to the public from 11 till 2 on Fridays and Saturdays, so come by, take a look at these gorgeous works of art, and vote for your favorite! Also, the Rialto Pickers will perform their annual Christ- mas show on Friday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. Admission is free to the public, and the concession stand will be open (most things cost $1), so take a break from the shopping madness and holiday stress. Sit back in our new comfy seats and join us for an evening of music of the season. Merry Christmas, everybody, and don’t shoot your eye out! THE CAST OF “A CHRISTMAS STORY” MR.

Rediscover Petit Jean —Photo by Shane Engebrecht A VISITOR CHATS with a re-enactor at the Petit Jean Mountain Rendezvous. By RACHEL ENGEBRETCH P etit Jean State P ar k Inter preter Visitors Enjoy Petit Jean Mountain Rendezvous Greetings from Petit Jean State Park! The park’s 14th Annual Petit Jean Mountain Rendezvous, held Nov. 25-27, was enjoyed by numerous par- ticipants and spectators, in spite of some chilly, wet weather dur- ing the last part of the event. Rendezvous re-enactors camped out in tents and teepees, and depicted scenes of what daily life would likely have been like for pioneers during the ter- ritorial days of Arkansas in the early 1800s, without the modern conveniences we often take for granted today, such as electrici- ty, refrigeration and instant communication via phones and computers. Visitors were able to view re-enactors at work doing blacksmithing, campfire cook- ing and carving wooden bowls. Park interpreters and re-enac- tors provided opportunities for visitors to try throwing a toma- hawk, to see how a muzzle- loading rifle works and to play with old-fashioned toys made with very simple materials such as buttons and string. A wide variety of trade tent items, such as beaded jewelry, woolen clothing and metal tools were available for sale. Petit Jean State Park’s next scheduled event will be Eagle Awareness Weekend on Jan. 14- 15, 2012. For more information about this or other events, call the park interpreters at (501) 727-6512 or (501) 727-6510, or call the main park office at (501) 727-5441 or check out the park’s website www.PetitJean- StatePark.com. 8 ★ PETIT JEAN COUNTRY HEADLIGHT, WED., DECEMBER 7, 2011 TOPS 0346 By JUANITA MARSHALL Headlight Correspondent Come, join us as we meet at Plummer Hall in Plumerville each Thursday at 8:30 a.m. for our weigh-in, and our class meets from 9 to 10.

Cypress Valley By JEAN WILLIAMS Headlight Correspondent Rain, rain, rain; everything is soaked through and through. December has arrived, and we are not ready. Thanksgiving is barely over, and it’s time to get ready for Christmas. I went with Sarah and William to town and Allison met us at Wendy’s for lunch. Wendy’s is William’s favorite place to eat. We enjoyed the day. Sandra and Sarah worked at the ball games at Nemo Vista last night. William spent Friday and Saturday nights with me. Dec. 2 was Samantha’s birthday and the first one away from home. We talked a little on her day to let her know we were thinking about her and missed her. Pam Epperson brought me some little fall tomatoes, and they are very good. All the students are to be in the last week of the semester with some exemptions and lots of tests to finish up. Bradley Miller is to report for work at the paper mill tomorrow. Lots of luck in your venture. Angela and I had breakfast at Hardee’s Tuesday and visited a little with Cowboy Henderson who was enjoying his meal, too. Gun season for deer hunters came to an end this week, and I think there was a large amount harvested. News is very short here this week, but maybe more next week.

Although saddened by those who are leaving us, we welcome newcomers to be as happy here as we are. My daddy once told me that it is more important to be kind than to be right and that when you plan to get even with some- one you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
