Ozarks At Large


Last night Kyle Kellams moderated a public discussion at the Fayetteville Public Library about one of the new works included in this weekend's Arkansas New Play Festival.
Picking a name for a new magazine is part art, part science, part luck. We talk with editors and publishers of three regional publications for the latest "what's in a name" feature.
A study released yesterday by Oxfam International suggests that many workers in Arkansas would benefit from a raise in the federal minimum wage. A matching grant from the Walton Family Foundation will soon result in a mountain bike trail in Springdale, and Fayetteville joins the Arkansas Downtown Network.



There is plenty to do in Springdale this weekend including visiting the Amtrak Exhibit Train or eating at the 10th annual Wingfest.

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large
Thursday, June 26, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the National Veterans Golden Age Games are set to take over Fayetteville and the region this weekend; we speak with one 79-year-old Vietnam veteran who hopes to win in his competitions, and we speak with an Arkansas elder who decided to obtain his GED many, many years after his high school years had passed. Plus, while many eyes are on the happenings at the World Cup, we attend a sports match of a different nature, polo, in Bentonville.
Easter egg hunts for people and dogs, and a poetry slam make for an interesting weekend.
