Step inside the world of forensic psychology with Dr. Debra Warner, one of the nation’s leading experts on criminal behavior, trauma, and offender profiling.

Designed for general audiences, this live lecture cuts through myth and media distortion to present a clear, research‑based exploration of the criminal mind. Dr. Warner draws on real cases, clinical experience, and decades of study to illuminate how investigators and psychologists identify behavioral red flags, understand offender pathways, and assess risk.
Whether you’re fascinated by psychology, criminology, or the mechanics of human behavior, this event offers a compelling, thought‑provoking evening inside the world of forensic analysis — delivered with clarity, depth, and respect for the subject matter.
Recommended for ages 14 and up. This program contains graphic descriptions of real criminal cases and may be disturbing or unsuitable for younger audiences.

Christmas in My Hometown

Christmas in My Hometown
Welcome to our show: My name is Ron George and together with Emily Jessen, Zach and Aaron George we are the production team for Christmas in my Hometown.
This year we are celebrating our 21st year anniversary. This magical Broadway style production features over 100 singers, dancers and musicians, working in harmony to bring the joy of Christmas to our audience.
From its debut in 2006 our show has become a wonderful holiday tradition. A variety show fashioned after the holiday specials of TV’s early days, when stars were joined by their families in a cozy front room setting.
Joining me onstage this year is Emily Jessen, Christina Jacklin, Zach & Aaron George, The Will C Wood Sylvan Singers, The Tintanabulus Hand Bell Choir, The Fabulous Dixon Dancers, Alina Adams Music Studio Ensemble and the Winters High School Chorus directed by Mike Williams.
Planning for the show starts in early July and from then until showtime we are building sets, learning songs, adding new props to the show, and always trying to outdo our last performance. From the beginning, Christmas in My Hometown has been a family affair. My wife Sharron and our son Doug along with his wife Julie help with setting up and decorating the stage as well as preparing the pre-show welcome party for our guests.
Our grandchildren Zach and Aaron along with our adopted granddaughter Emily Jessen, not only perform in every show they also work side by side with me to bring the best show possible to our community.
From the very first year, Christmas in My Home Town has been a labor of love for the entire cast and crew.
From our family to yours: Merry Christmas!
Helping to keep music programs in place for future generations is our passion!!!!
