One of Homer’s favorite holiday traditions is making a limited comeback after last year’s Covid cancellation. The Nutcracker Suite will get a one-weekend run starting on Friday. Emilie Springer tells us more about the decades-old community event.

On Sunday, I sat down with Jill Berryman in the high school theater hallway while the kids do warm up’s on the stage to talk about how Homer’s Nutcracker got its start in 1989.
