There are lot's of talented folks in Carroll County and the surrounding area. Here's a sample of the 2017 talent showcase 'We've Got Talent.'

Berryville FFA held its annual Donkey Basketball fundraiser Monday night last week at Bobcat Gym.

Creedence Clearwater Revival sang about it. A 1996 horror film was named after it. Urban Dictionary calls it "something bad in the foreseeable future." At one time or another, most everyone has heard about a bad moon rising. A six-hour bicycle endurance race around a four-mile track in pasture and timberland, all under the light of a silvery full moon, was appropriately called the "Bad Moon Rising" mountain bike race. The race was held from 6 p.m. to midnight Saturday in Berryville. It was a benefit ride for the Ozark Off Road Cyclists and drew 100 riders from across the area.

'Choco' up another Chocolate Fest into the history books. The Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center was once again a beehive of activity Saturday as the 2017 edition of the annual Eureka Springs Chocolate Lovers' Festival was held. Things were changed around this year. The chocolate making/baking contest, which brought KYTV's Steve Grant down to act as judge, wasn't held this year. But the upstairs Emporium was still held and Willy Wonka-style golden tickets were given away in boxes of chocolate.

There were treasures galore at the Eureka Springs Historical Museum Yard Sale. There were lots of shoppers and deals abounding. "I don't want to have to move anything back to the house," one vendor was overheard saying.

There's hardly anything better to do on a (supposed to be) chilly winter weekend than to come indoors to listen to lots of great music. And the Basin Park Hotel's annual Ozark Mountain Music Festival is such an event. It featured Bluegrass, Folk and American Roots music played by some of the best regional groups and singers playing today. There were 11 entertainers during four days of great sounds. The event drew festival goers from several states. Here's a quick glimpse of the festival from CCN/LCC photographer David Bell.

The third Saturday of very month the Carroll County Airport hosts a flyin breakfast, served in its beautiful, award winning terminal. In January it was converted to a chili lunch, and the weather that day was ideal for flying.

The Green Forest Elementary School celebrated the first 100 days of their school year by dressing up in the style of 100 years ago.

It was a celebration of 100 days of school in Berryville's kindergarten classes. Here's what it looked like through the lens of CCN photographer David Bell.

Each year Berryville Intermediate School Principal Lisa Geren takes casual day to the max and has 'PJs With the Principal.' Students, staff and teachers are encouraged to wear their festive pajamas to school. Geren hosts story time for each grade and serves fresh, warm cookies. Here was this year's edition of 'PJs With the Principal."

Here are some photographs from the elementary school's play, 'The Mighty Reindeer.'

Berryville's fifth-graders performed their Winterfest concert at the Intermediate School and the Crescent Hotel. After the performance at the Crescent the entire Berryville fifth-graders were treated to a luncheon at the grand hotel's Crystal Ballroom. The staff at the Crescent dining room praised the entire group for their manners and politeness.
