Meanwhile, The Cricket on the Hearth, also based on a Charles Dickens story, begins a two-week run at Stone s Throw Dinner Theatre just west of Carthage on Old Highway 66. In this story, a blind girl, her father and the Scrooge-like character who wants to marry her come to understand the true spirit of the holidays. Doors open an hour and a half before show time, and meals are served thirty minutes after doors open. Two nights later on Thursday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. the Webb City Christmas Parade will be held in downtown Webb City. Saturday evening, Dec. 9, enjoy a prime rib dinner followed by a tour of Carthage s Christmas lights and the Powers Museum.
