Good morning, Canton.

The Canton Repository has shared local community briefs featuring upcoming events across Canton and Stark County, including art, needlecraft, chocolate and cheese tastings at local libraries; a Lee Brice concert at Palace Theatre; and family-friendly programs at museums and parks.

Rep writer Ed Balint served as an extra on the holiday film 'A Christmas Drawn Together,' filmed 15 days in Stark and Carroll counties at Walker's Cafe (where the movie also featured a cameo by Minerva Mayor Mason Boldizar and actor Scott Schwartz) and the film will debut around Christmas.
