Pics of the Nutcracker Guest Artists are finally here

We had a great time interviewing Natham Cottam and Traci Finch on the show last week. Cheryl Jenkins brought them over to the radio station and we had a great chat with Nathan about growing up in Buffalo, NY. He recently completed his Masters at the University of Arizona. Go Wildcats

! Traci hails from the great state of Utah and is currently living in New York pursuing her career in dance. Their performance as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Cavalier in Cheryl's School of Dance's production of the Nutcracker brought a new level of culture and refinement to our city of Carlsbad. Thanks also to Bethany Bluth for persuading them to come and perform in Carlsbad.

Here are the pictures of the Santa Claus cookies. They are very easy to make and are always a hit at the cookie exchange.

Grandma Sue's Caramel Corn

We had a great time on our first show and we hope you did too! Congratulations to Eugene for winning the home tour tickets and to Brian for successfully answering our trivia question and taking home a pizza from Papa Murphys (We bet his wife was excited!) No cooking tonight! The trivia question was: "What was the name of the newspaper and in what year did little Virginia write to the editor of that paper asking "Is there really a Santa Claus?" The answer was: The New York Sun and the year was 1897!

Listen every day for a different trivia question and a chance to win great prizes!
