Arts Council Menifee has chosen Doug and Kristen Spoon as their October Artists/Ambassadors of the Month.

The couple are co-owners of the Menifee 24/7 news website. “It is their dedication to sharing the events and news of the area that led them to being chosen,” the council said in a written release.

Doug Spoon is also the adviser for Mt. San Jacinto Community College’s student newspaper, “The Talon.”

Kristen Spoon has always had an interest in the arts.

“I was very active in choral groups in school,” she said in the release. “My high school offered a special class for all the arts which included writing, drama, music and art class. It was one of my greatest experiences to date.”
