One of the Twin Lakes area’s favorite holiday traditions is returning as Arkansas State University-Mountain Home (ASUMH) and the City of Mountain Home prepare for another season of the Coulter Celebration of Lights. The festivities will officially begin Sunday, Nov. 22, with a special lighting ceremony from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Community members are welcome to help welcome the holidays as the campus lights up for the first time this season. The highlight of the evening is set for 5:30 p.m., when ASUMH Chancellor Dr. Bentley Wallace, Mountain Home Mayor Hillrey Adams, ASUMH Founding Chancellor Emeritus Dr. Ed and Lucretia Coulter and Santa Claus join together to flip the switch and illuminate the campus. Guests are encouraged to arrive early so they don’t miss the special moment. Following the lighting, families can enjoy a screening of the holiday favorite The Santa Clause, holiday snacks from Rooted Soul Bakes and opportunities for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

An outsider becomes famous cooking another culture's food. Appreciation or taking over?

A chef becomes known for food from a culture outside their own after years of study with respected cooks. The restaurant is successful, while small businesses run by people from that culture struggle for attention.

When does appreciation become taking opportunity from the people who created a tradition?
