Ahead on this Thanksgiving edition of Ozarks: music, shopping and a holiday cocktail. We find out how local businesses work to attract shoppers in the midst of the Black Friday weekend. For music, we talk to Fort Smith native Josiah Hawley about his career after being a finalist on NBC's The Voice and his homecoming concert this weekend. Plus, Rosanne Cash discusses the work on her father's childhood home in Arkansas and get a preview of Aaron Diehl's upcoming concert at Walton Arts Center. And our cocktail comes from a house in Fayetteville dedicated to creating unique drinks.
