Third Annual Christmas Home Tour
The tour is a chance to experience the Christmas traditions and décor of some of Waynesboro’s finest when five homes and three institutions put out the welcome mat for WTA’s Annual Christmas Home Tour. The Plumb House will be dressed in its homespun decorations of the Civil War era. The Waynesboro Country Club will serve as a way station on the tour where visitors can share in the holiday hospitality and enjoy a break for cookies and beverages. The five private homes will present their Christmas finery to the visitors. Each has its own history and approach to the festive season. Read more
Hunley: The best radio not on the airwaves
“A Prairie Home Companion” has never hooked me like it has attracted some people.
I love radio, even now when lots of folks think iPods have rendered the airwaves obsolete. But I’m too lazy to figure out when the program is on public radio, I think host Garrison Keillor is probably a bit too satisfied with himself and I probably wouldn’t get some of the jokes about the Midwest.

WTA Announces Expansion
At WTA’s Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on March 25, 2011, Bill Hausrath, Chair of the Wayne Theatre Alliance, announced that the Alliance will be leasing the space at 329 West Main Street and expanding its programming starting in August 2011.
The Wayne Theatre Alliance will sublease the space at 329 West Main now occupied by the Blue Ridge Christian Fellowship. “The new facility will allow the Alliance to significantly expand its programming,” Hausrath said. The organization’s popular River City Radio Hour will expand from a monthly program to a twice-a-month schedule on the First and Third Fridays of the month. The Alliance’s programming committee is in the process of scheduling a series of performances by regional performers as well as local entertainers and other attractions. The new initiative will offer a diversity of entertainments that will appeal to a broad range of interests. The goal is to expand the reach of the Wayne Theatre Alliance and to build the audience for the reopened Wayne Theatre. Read more
