Ozarks At Large
In the next few weeks you can do almost anything…and we have the list of events to prove it.
Becca Martin Brown says one of the best ways to spend time next week is watching paintings come to life at Crystal Bridges’ next Art Night Out event.
Tuesday, the Drum Corps International Summer Tour, made a stop at Bentonville’s Tiger Stadium. We meet on of the eight groups, the Crossmen, as they make their way to the 36th Annual DCI World Championships in Indianapolis.
Changes have already been made to the Arkansas Department of Community Corrections, with more changes still to come. Although the state's unemployment rate didn't change from May to June, that doesn't take into account several layoffs that have happened in the past month. Gas prices have been on the rise across Arkansas, with still higher prices on the horizon. And 39 permits have been issued for retail liquor sales in Benton County, leaving 16 potential permits still up for grabs.
