Ozarks At Large

The winter storm this month meant the Red Cross had to cancel dozens of blood drives across the state.
Governor Mike Beebe last week issued a disaster declaration for 22 Arkansas counties that were impacted by the recent winter storm. Lt. Governor Mark Darr is found to have misspent thousands of dollars of state funds for personal or undocumented purposes. Walmart announces a new president for the retailer's India operation, and First Security Bank has a new CEO in northwest Arkansas. And a Little Rock museum has a new exhibit regarding the history of an Arkansas staple: the Bowie Knife.

This week's montage was inspired by the 80th anniversary of prohibition being repealed.
