Outdoors

There are a lot of photographers looking for the perfect backdrop for fall family photos, senior pics and other great photo opportunities. But there is a place that you can not get your photograph taken at or on because it's illegal to do so in the state of Arkansas and Texas.

Have you ever been to Pumpkin Nights in Dallas, Texas? Now through the end of this month, the magic of the fall season comes alive with 5,000 hand-carved and artificial glowing pumpkins with tons of lights.

Have you ever been driving down some old highway or road at night and get spooked because you thought you saw something you couldn't explain? Believe it or not, it happens more often than you think especially when driving in Arkansas.

October is for fun and everything spooky. So it's only fitting that the 2021 2nd Annual Fouke Monster Halloween Campout will be taking place on Halloween weekend.

I love the month of October sitting around the campfire or firepit and telling ghost stories or better yet talking about a mysterious road in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

My friend Bill Harp along with his lovely wife Michelle invited me to join them for the Southern Sportsmen Foundation banquet in Foreman, Arkansas a couple of weeks ago and I'm so glad I finally got to be a part of it. I got some pictures!

Thanks to Eddie Aulds for coming in this morning for a quick chat about all the stuff happening in Texarkana, Texas for the month of October. we have the full interview posted below but today I wanted to highlight one that's always great fun... the Fall Festival.

Alligator season in Arkansas runs through this weekend in Arkansas and 32-year-old  Reagan McKinley a dental hygienist from Bryant, Arkansas killed a huge alligator in Hempstead County last weekend.

The first day of the fall season is almost here! Wednesday, September 22, marks the first day of autumn with much cooler weather on the way this week. My favorite time of the year is to venture outdoors with family and look for corn mazes, pumpkin patches, fall festivals, in and near our area.

If you grew up in Texas in the 70's then you probably remember these cute little Horned toads. They were common, but now the Texas horned lizard is one of more than 1,300 species of concern in the state.

If it ain't dripping with grease, sauce or some kind of cream, it probably didn't come from the State Fair of Texas, and it probably doesn't taste very good. The State Fair of Texas is known for taking culinary creativity to new heights, and 2021 is no exception.

I always enjoy looking up Texarkana history. Does anyone remember the Armistice Day parade?
