You have an opportunity to get tickets to theTrans-Siberian Orchestra’s East Lansing concert.(Nov. 10)

Independent Lens features “Solar Mamas.” (Nov. 15)

Making of War Horse takes you behind the scenes. (Nov. 24)

The War of 1812 features many re-enactments. (Nov. 20)

Here's how you make your tree:1. Draw leaf shapes on colored paper, or

trace around cookie cutters.

2. Cut out the leaves carefully with scissors. (Cut out some extra leaves so guests can add their own thankful thoughts.)

3. Using crayons or markers, write things that you are thankful for on the leaves, like family members, the dog or pizza! Help the little ones record their thoughts.

4. Attach your leaves to bare tree branches with tape or glue, or by punching a hole in each leaf and tying them to the tree branches with string or ribbon.

5. Put stones or sand in the bottom of the vase for stability. If you have acorns you picked up on a walk outdoors, sprinkle them in for effect!

6. Put the branches in the vase and your tree is complete.

Peter and Tim Talk Music!Lansing Symphony Orchestra musical director and conductor TimothyMuffittstoppedbyWKARin October to spend a couple of hours with WKAR Radio station manager Peter Whorf. They shared a terrific conversation on 90.5 WKAR about the conductor’s favorite music and insights.

Lots of WKAR fans submitted questions via the WKAR and 90.5Facebook pages. The two hours flew by and, judging from the feedback, the visit was a great success. Or, as Bill Fullmer wrote on WKAR.org, “Please repeat this show so I can hear all of it. Just caught a small part and it was terrific!”
