Some special things come in threes! The Dan River Basin Association (DRBA) invites you to its First Saturday Outing on Dec. 7 to walk on three paved sections of the Smith River Trail System in Martinsville, Virginia. The total hike will be about 2.5 miles, covering the Uptown Connection Trail, the Silverbell Trail, and the Wilson Park Nature Trail.

Christmas tradition with a train emphasis is the theme of the South Boston/Halifax County Museum’s holiday display this year.

Forty years ago, with $100 donated by the town of Clarksville, the Clarksville Community Players put on their first show for the public. When the show was over, the Players paid back the $100.
