Little people, big wheels

If you have a child that loves big trucks, come out to EdVenture on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Big Wheels.

A classic

 

Nanci Griffith, called the "Queen of Folkability" by Rolling Stone magazine, performs her mix of folk, country, rock and pop at 8 p.m. Friday at the Newberry Opera House.
