Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, March 27, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Spring is officially here, and warmer weather will soon bring with it insects like mayflies and damsel flies out and about. But before those bugs mature, they spend their young lives as nymphs in local waterways. We visit a local creek to see what is swimming and crawling beneath the surface. Plus, a conversation with another one of this year's gubernatorial candidates, Mike Ross. The Democrat has aspirations that stretch beyond this November. And back-handsprings and lateral bars: what it takes to be one of the best gymnastics programs in the country. We spend some time with the Arkansas Razorback Gymbacks, who will host this year's national championship regionals this week.
