This year’s AMT season premiered April 5. The music & comedy variety show brings outstanding vocals, slapstick comedy and hysterical impersonations to the stage. Performances run through the end of October. All performances take place in AMT’s comfortable 527-seat theater in the heart of Randolph County. Known as “The Freshest Sound in the Mountains,” the theater, now in its sixth year, has brought home four statewide awards from the WV Division of Tourism. A venue that can be discounted by a younger age group, promises to entertain no matter what age you may be. Former skeptic, 13-year old Lakota Campbell from New Jersey said, “When I heard about it I thought it was going to be very stupid and lame. But man was I wrong!! It was so much fun. Great entertainment and I would love to go back any time I can!!!!” It’s conveniently located in downtown Elkins and shares space in the Historic Railyard with the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad.

TRAVELING BY PLANE: YOU MIGHT THINK YOU GOT THE LOW-DOWN ON FLYING, BUT BEFORE YOU BOARD THE PLANE, CHECK OUT THESE TIPS.
If you are looking to save a couple bucks, book
your trip at least 6 weeks in advance; people tend to pay the lowest price about 42 days prior to the departure date. If your schedule allows, fly out in the middle of the week. There are less people traveling, which means lower ticket prices to fill the plane. After that is all done, you are on your way to the airport! Once you get there, make a note of where you parked. (We have all forgotten where our cars are located and after a long trip your memory is less reliable.)
Do a quick bag check to make sure nothing sharp was packed and your electronics are in order before going into the airport. That will help you get through security faster. Bring along items such as headphones, neck pillows and comfy shoes; these will help make your plane ride more satisfying. Set your suitcase apart from everyone else’s. No one likes sitting at baggage claim after a long flight sorting through luggage. If you can’t buy luggage in an unusual color or pattern to help distinguish it from the rest, consider adding a distinctive colorful tag or other marker. Before booking any overseas flights, make sure you
double-check document requirements for any foreign countries you hope to visit. Some countries require either a visa and/or passports for entry. Each country is different, so make sure you get the info ahead of time.
