Avatar poster ends run at Palace; 'How to Train your Dragon' next on screen
It seems as though we’ve been plagued with an ever-changing movie schedule lately. I’m sorry to report – “Avatar” fell through for the last time. As Tony said – that poster sure had a nice long run. However, apparently it is not in the cards for the James Cameron history-making 3D fantasy epic to play the Palace.

Old Creamery Nature Trail
The Old Creamery Nature Trail is just over 14 miles in length and runs
from Vinton through Garrison to Dysart. The trail is open for the use
of walkers, runners, bicyclists, bird watchers and nature
enthusiasts. The trail base is primarily composed of limestone and we
do our best to keep it mowed and sprayed during the warm weather
months.
