Ozarks At Large
On this edition of Ozarks we mark the third anniversary of our daily program. To celebrate the occasion we follow the tradition we established with our previous two anniversary shows…by devoting most of the program to stories related to the traditional anniversary gift for the appropriate anniversary. So today we have stories connected to leather…a saddle-maker in Prairie Grove, a cobbler in Fayetteville and more.

Steven Clardy grew up in Clardy's Cobbler Shoppe on College Avenue in Fayetteville as his father fixed shoes and a little bit of everything else. Now, Steven's own children watch as he cobbles things together.Jim and Susan Nelson moved to northwest Arkansas nearly forty years ago to set up shop…and they’ve stayed. Jim Nelson talks about the differences of then and now when it comes to northwest Arkansas, Eureka Springs and starting a business.
Senator John Boozman and USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack speak to the importance of Congress coming to a compromise on the Farm Bill on the last day before the August recess. Congressman Tim Griffin and the Sierra Club continue pushing ExxonMobil for more information regarding the Pegasus Pipeline rupture in Mayflower. And a signage project connecting the cities of Northwest Arkansas gets underway.
