Cheers! Whether it’s at your local bar after a long day at the office, a quick nightcap or drinks with friends on a Saturday afternoon, nothing goes down better than your favorite boozy beverage. Americans are well-known for our patriotic attitude and this extends to our love for all things alcoholic.

It's an annual tradition that makes me laugh-out-loud every time I see it, the WKRP in Cincinnati "Turkey's Away" episode. They just don't make television that funny anymore.

Wow! What a crowd! Who knew that Texarkana and the surrounding areas were such old train lovers? Today, Tuesday, November 12, 2019, we showed 'em what it's like to bring a genuine piece of locomotive history through our town by golly.

Somewhere before the Holidays of 2003, I was working in Dallas for ABC Radio Networks on one of their satellite-fed country radio formats when I got a call from the one and only Bob Kingsley asking little ol' me to fill in for him on his countdown show, after someone picked me up off the floor, I believe I said... yes!

What a great response on last week's "Tell us Tuesday" Facebook question, thank you to all who chimed in. Below you'll find the results of our unscientific survey. The question was; What candy would you be happy if you never got it in your Halloween treat bag ever again?

Every gun enthusiast should own at least one of these, if they don't already, we're talking an American classic, the Henry Lever Action 30-30 Rifle. Oh, and I know where you can win one.

Opening up my brain and thinking again, really is there anything more dangerous? Walmart drops the news yesterday, Tuesday, September 3, that they are going to stop selling certain short barrel rifle ammo and pistol ammunition when they run out... as if that will do anything to stem the tide of violence in our society.

The 2019 Four States Fair is set for September 13 - 22, that means it's time to start searching for talented youth for the Stars Youth Talent Show!

I don't know what the numbers are area-wide, state-wide, or even nation-wide much less world-wide, but I do know there have been millions of Scouts over the last 100 years or so. Will we see 100's of neckers on World Scout Scarf Day Thursday, August 1 here in the Ark-La-Tex? Thousands? Or 10's of 1's?

I received a note from Melanie Cain, the new Secretary for the RCA, the Rondo Cemetery Association, a couple of days ago letting me know that the Rondo Cemetery is in need of some donations to get it trimmed up and looking good for summer. Your help is needed and matching funds are available.

It's that time a year again when, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream." Nothing is more refreshing than some cold ice cream on a long hot summer day. July happens to be 'National Ice Cream Day' so that means lots of ice cream.
