Bald Knob Cross Ready for Easter Services

Those traveling to Bald Knob for Easter Sunday services saw a newly restored cross.

The 11-story landmark near Alto Pass has undergone a major facelift over the past year.  Many of the white porcelain panels were refurbished or replaced along with the concrete substructure.  Supporters of the cross restoration project raised more than $550,000.
