Good morning, Fayetteville.

Downtown eatery Pan brought back breakfast today from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday after a seven‐month break caused by high food costs—owner Brian Graybill said lower egg prices made the return possible.

Fayetteville's Cameo Art House Theatre will transition to a nonprofit run by the Cameo Collective on January 1, 2026 as current owners Nasim and Chris Kuenzel step away after 25 years — new leaders including artistic director Brian Adam Kline and president Gerard Falls will continue screenings and community events. This change promises to keep the theater's legacy alive and help it expand its community role.

The Cameo Art House Theatre turned 25 years old when it opened in downtown Fayetteville—marking a quarter-century of films and live events that have enriched the local arts scene.

The venue, which began in 2000, continues to host screenings and events that bring the community together.
