Coloring Easter eggs is one of the favorite holiday activities for children of all ages. You can use natural ingredients to get colorful results. Here’s a list of natural dye sources and the colors they produce.

· Fresh beets — pinkish red

· Yellow onion skins — orange

· Spinach leaves — pale green

· Red cabbage leaves or canned blueberries — blue

· Strong brewed coffee — beige to brown

 After more than a decade of an 8:30 p.m. show time, “The Stephen Foster Story” and Salt River Electric production “All Shook Up” will start 30 minutes earlier in 2015. Both shows will begin at 8 p.m. at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre in Bardstown this summer, with the house opening at 7:15 p.m. for seating.

An earlier start time is favorable for our motor coaches, groups, and individual audience members alike. One added benefit for guests will be a larger selection of dining options after the performance, as both shows will end at 10 p.m.
