Ahead on Ozarks:the gavel has come down to begin a special session of the Arkansas Legislature. Chris Hickey reports on the opening afternoon of a session dedicated to solving, if only temporarily, a projected spike in insurance rates for public school employees in the state. Plus: our usual Friday conversations with Michael Tilley from The City Wire and Becca Martin Brown from Northwest Arkansas Newspapers. And Antoinette Grajeda tries to discover the lure of following festivals for one retailer who is selling her wares right now at Mulberry Mountain for the Yonder Mountain String Band’s Harvest Festival.
An architecture lecture, and a performance by the Midtown Men are a few of Becca's suggestions for tonight's entertainment.

This Halloween season, the essence of the Great Houdini will be brought to life in three publicly staged escapes by illusionist, Sean-Paul, accompanied by medium Juliane.
