For those of you about to BBQ, Becca salutes you...and offers tips on how to enjoy the festival. For those about to flee, she has advice on that, too.
Ozarks At Large
The tenth annual Bikes Blues & BBQ Festival in Fayetteville this weekend promises to draw as many as 400 thousand motorcycle fans from across the U.S., and all their bluster got biologist Joe Neal to thinking about mating habits.
On this Monday edition of Ozarks we get the scoop on compost at Bentonville, look toward the election in five weeks and preview the upcoming season for the Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra opens the season October 17th with a program concentrating on Russian music. Later in the year the orchestra will include Ellington, cartoons and Mozart. We talked with the conductor, Steven Byess.
Steven Byess also explained why he thinks there is plenty of room for several orchestras in the region. Hear those comments here. For more information, www.arkansasphilharmonic.org.
