It’s 24 hours before Christmas and all comic hell is about to break loose in the town of Tuna, the “third-smallest” town in Texas where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. In addition to the usual seasonal traumas that the holidays bring, a mysterious “Christmas Phantom” has been vandalizing the yard displays in the town’s annual Christmas Yard Display Contest, threatening to throw the contest into turmoil. And if that wasn’t trouble enough, the disaster-prone production of A Christmas Carol is falling apart!
Longtime Circle favorites, Dustin Drake and Scotty Gannon, portray all 24 of the delightfully eccentric denizens of Tuna, Texas, in this irreverent, holiday follow-up to Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard’s Greater Tuna. Perfect for holiday parties!

Information needed on robbery suspects
From the police:
The Athens-Clarke County Police Department is seeking assistance in identifying individuals in the attached photos. The individuals are wanted in reference to an alleged robbery that occurred in downtown Athens on September 7, during the UGA vs. South Carolina football game, where an iPhone 5 and a debit card were stolen.
These individuals used the card at 2350 West Broad St and then went to Foot Locker in the Georgia Square Mall on a mini shopping spree. They did not have authorization to use the card and most likely were able to retrieve the PIN using deceitful means. It was also alleged that either a gun or a knife was used in the robbery.
If you have any information on these suspects please contact Det. Richie Boyle at (706) 613-3337 ext 327 or (706) 623-2008 or Sgt. Jeff Clark (706) 613-3337 ext 329.
