Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Mexico's history is long, rich and often misunderstood. We talk with a historian who has written eleven books on the subject. Plus, a conversation with a gubernatorial candidate who cites his business background as sufficient experience to serve in higher office in the state. And, a preview of the inaugural Homegrown Festival, debuting next week in Siloam Springs
Becca Martin Brown, from Northwest Arkansas Newspapers, helps us get ready for two outdoor music events.
Arkansans filing for an extension for their federal tax forms this past spring now have another, final deadline next week.
