In this episode, you’ll hear from Interim Clifton Police Chief Gage Guinn about the recent attempted burglary at the tail end of November. The Bosque County Sheriff's Office and Clifton Police responded to the incident, and Sheriff Hendricks even weighed in on why a local pharmacy was targeted. We talked to Dana Chastain about the live nativity coming up at Immanuel Lutheran Church, in which five scenes are being added to this awesome production this year. It's a little bit like a combination of a drive-in movie and live-action play on 15 stages. Then it’s off to the Frazier Performance Hall for the Handel’s Messiah. President Donna Jarman of the Bosque Civic Music Association dedicated the performance to Joy Williamson and Steve Watson. David Anavitarte explained a little history of "Messiah" before the show started. Then, it was sweet, sweet music. We've got news briefs about upcoming events in Valley Mills, a parade and fundraiser hosted by West Shore VFD, and big plans for a market at the Bosque County Cowboy Church this weekend.
