Chad Hazelton and three of his children perform for diners at ReStore on Tuesday.

It's the first year of lessons for Jillian on fiddle, Tucker on guitar and Cash on dulcimer.

Dad Chad said it was good experience for his youngsters to perform in public, and the crowd clapped approval after each song.

Chad made the dulcimer and drum set himself. He and his wife, Jamie, home school their children, all six of them.

Next up for the Hazelton family is the county fair where they will show goats, rabbits, chickens and cows...a busy family. (Monty Siekerman)

TROIKA Entertainment recently announced that the national tour of the quintessential backstage musical comedy classic 42nd STREET will launch on Sept. 22, at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah.

ONU alumnus Brandy Miller is in the cast. He is part of the ensemble.

This production is directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award winning Best Revival. 

You know the old saying, "Four Cecropia are better than none."

Here is a photo of four large caterpillars removed from a fernleaf buckhorn plant at Liberty National Bank on Saturday. The Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia) is North America's largest native moth, having a wingspan of 5 to 6 inches. 

The wings of the giant silk moths are brown with some white and "eyes." The large caterpillars were removed from the bank's plant and transported to a maple tree in the country, hoping the life cycle will continue for these moths and one day, perhaps, be seen by someone.

The photo below shows what these caterpillars will eventually become.
