Last year, nearly 10,000 people attended the festival, and Lyon College Director of Scottish Heritage Jimmy Bell said 2008 could be the best year yet for attendance. Things kick off Friday, April 18, with the United States Piping Federation Professional Piobaireachd Qualifier. The event will be at 1 p.m. at the Pocket Park on Main Street in downtown Batesville.

Speaker explains feline phenomenon Hello Kitty – the name is familiar, and immediately conjures up an image of a small white cat. But why is it so familiar? Have you ever seen any advertising for it? Ken Belson, co-author of “Hello Kitty: The Remarkable Story of Sanrio and the Billion Dollar Feline Phenomenon,” explained this phenomenon in his lecture at Lyon College on March 6. Exhibit examines the cost of war What is the human cost of war? The Eyes Wide Open exhibit of the boots and shoes of those who died in Iraq tries to make people understand this question. This exhibit came to Lyon College on March 6. Local author to discuss her book at Mabee-Simpson Library March 25 When nine black children desegregated Little Rock’s Central High School in September 1957, 13-year-old Elizabeth Jacoway paid little attention. At the time, she had no concept of the history she had lived through. It was years later as a doctoral student that Jacoway began to realize the importance of the Little Rock Nine. It was then she determined she, along with the rest of the world, needed to know the truth about what happened 50 years ago. Jacoway will talk about her book Turn Away Thy Son: Little Rock, the Crisis That Shocked the Nation (Free Press, 2007) at noon March 25 in the Mabee-Simpson Library on the Lyon College campus. |
