Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, August 8, 2013
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: Tontitown is in the middle of its 115th grape Festival. A lot of chickens, a lot of spaghetti and a lot of rolls are coming out of the parish hall kitchen. Plus Brandan O'Connell visits with me at the spot of some of his greatest inspiration or art: the aisles of Wal-Mart. And in just a few minutes we catch up with Roby Brock as he begins Campaign 2014 coverage, more than a year before election day. Yesterday he spent a day with Congressman Tom Cotton as he launches his campaign bid against Senator Mark Pryor. Today Roby is traveling with the senator.
Record heat and drought this summer have stressed both urban and rural forests. We assess the damage.
