Forest Grove News Times · Grove, OK
Nearby: Grove, OKAll Ralphie Parker wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun. But as audiences will soon discover at Theatre in the Grove, getting his hands on one is easier said than done. The Forest Grove theater is bringing a beloved holiday classic to the stage with “A Christmas Story: The Musical,” running select dates Dec. 4-20 at 2028 Pacific Ave. Based on the 1983 film that has become a Christmas tradition for generations of families, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie and his determined quest to convince the adults in his life that he’s ready for his dream gift. Unfortunately for Ralphie, everyone keeps telling him the same thing: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” Set during the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical revisits many of the movie’s most memorable moments, from Flick’s ill-fated encounter with a frozen flagpole to Ralphie’s pink bunny suit and, of course, the infamous leg lamp.
Green Acres Publication · Parsons, KS
Nearby: Parsons, KSBy Jason Vance As producers across the country prepare for the next growing season, fall offers an opportunity to evaluate soil fertility in hayfields and pastures and make informed decisions about fertilizer applications. Soil testing can help forage producers identify nutrient deficiencies, correct soil acidity and better target fertilizer dollars. Christie Preston, a Kansas State University Sustainable Cropping Systems agronomist based in Parsons, said fall is an especially useful time to assess forage ground before the next growing season. “This year we’re focusing mainly on forage, hayfields and pastures,” Preston said. Although soil conditions and nutrient recommendations vary by region, the basic principles of soil testing apply to forage producers nationwide. Testing in the fall allows time to receive results, plan fertilizer purchases and address soil pH problems before spring growth begins.
