COVER STORY: The Hershey Story Museum in Pennsylvania is where visitors learn how Milton Hershey built an entire town around his chocolate factory in the early 20th century.  This segment explores Hershey's popular chocolate products and his vision for the community he created.
SCENIC AMERICA: Towering mountains and deep canyons help define Utah's distinctive landscape.  Featured locations include the Colorado River near Moab and Red Canyon in the southern part of the state.
 
 
ON A MUSICAL NOTE: The accordion and the fiddle are the lead instruments for the Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band.  The unique sound and upbeat tempo of the music helps to attract regular crowds in New Orleans, where the band regularly performs.
 
OFF THE BEATEN PATH: Among the few structures that survived Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Mississippi is the 1850s-era lighthouse. It's now a symbol for the state of Mississippi and the region, the focus for our travel feature. 
 
 TIME CAPSULE: The world's first commercial satellite, TELSTAR, generated quite the buzz when it was first launched in the summer of 1962.  We look back on the historic mission that also produced a hit song that topped the charts at the time.
WINTER FEATURE: Thousands of lights shine brightly in 100-year-old oak trees at a unique holiday event in Mississippi.  A variety of musical performances add to the festive atmosphere on the grounds of Beauvoir.
