2017

It all starts tomorrow and goes all week long through next Saturday. We're talking "Saturday in the Park" and "Oktoberfest" kicks off this weekend with a 5K run at 7AM, softball tournament at 8AM, the pumpkin patch photo booth and much more. Then next weekend there's the pancake breakfast, fish fry, chili cook-off live-music, games, food booths... the list is almost overwhelmin

How about a dinner and dance, 1940's-style, in an airplane hangar? Jeepers, that sounds swell! If you know me then you know what a huge fan I am of vintage warplanes and flying in general, which automatically makes me a fan of the CAF. So when I saw this event on Facebook I just had to let everyone know about it. I just wish it were a little closer. However, it might work for you.

We talk about things happening around Texarkana all the time but believe you me, we know there's a great big listening audience out there and not everybody lives right here. That's why we're telling you about The Taste of Jefferson coming up Sunday, October 22 from 12 till 3PM.

It's Four States Fair & Rodeo time once again and not only does that bring in cowboys and cowgirls and lots of livestock, it also brings us the shiny side of the rodeo coin, the Rodeo Queens. Thursday morning they dropped in on the Jim & Lisa show for an introduction to the Kicker 102.5 Wakeup Crew and our listeners. Welcome to Texarkana ladies!

McCurtain County Duck Unlimited Chapter is having their 2017 banquet this Thursday night at 6 PM, September 14, at The Lryic located at 18 South Central in Idabel, Oklahoma.

Congratulations to the following students who have made the President's and Dean's list at Texarkana College for the Summer 2017 session.

The Geeks were out in force last Saturday in Shreveport at the Shreveport Convention Center, which turned out to be just the right size for Geek'd Con 2017, and yes, it was fun!

Eclipse 2017, we were there. Being here in Texarkana, we lucked out on the weather what with all the rain we've had this month, thank goodness we had a pretty clear sky today for our rather rare celestial event.

Who's ready to hoist their "Nerd Flag" and fly it high this weekend? Yep, me too.

Clint Black is doing a show this Friday night, August 4, in Hope, Arkansas at Hempstead Hall, and believe it or not there are still some tickets available.

Make no mistake, this blog is all about me, not Paul McCartney, allow me to explain that. Last year I finally got to see the Eagles, luckily it was before Glen Fry passed away, but I can't believe how long it took me to see one of the most influential bands of my life. Now if you take that influential part up a few more notches, like all the way up to THE most influential band in my life, there si

It's time to start adopting ducks again because the Great Texarkana Duck Race is coming up Saturday, August 19 at Holiday Springs Water Park, presented by Christus St. Michael Health System and will benefit the W. Temple Webber Cancer Center.
