Ark-la-tex

Texarkana-area Scouts are holding a Sporting Clays Shoot this Saturday at Rocky Creek Outdoors, there's still time to get signed up or even volunteer to help.

Veterans Day is today, Friday, November 11, it is always November 11 no matter what day it falls during the week. Veterans Day is a day set aside to remember and recognize veterans who have served or who are currently serving to protect our freedoms.

We told you last week this was coming, well now it's here and it looks much colder than was originally predicted.

It just doesn't seem like fall when you're wearing shorts under your Halloween costume because it's too hot for jeans. Well, get ready Texarkana, looks like old man winter is wheezing in our general direction early next week and may stick around long enough to make All Hallows Eve feel just right.

Hey, it's Jim, you know the guy who's "Just Plane Nuts." I was trying to remember when was the last time I went to an air show... It has been way too long for me, I think the last time was a year or two before all the COVID-19 mess. I know there are some coming up in the fall, but I'm getting a little antsy.

Remember the Saharan dust that fell upon the Ark-La-Tex a couple of months ago? It's back and may make it a little rough for those with respiratory issues.

This Sunday night into Monday morning let's hope for some cloudless skies over the Ark-La-Tex so we can get a great view of the full "Super Flower Blood Moon" eclipse.

When you need a little Oom-Pappa-Mow-Mow in your life, there's only one group to call... The Oak Ridge Boys are coming back to the Ark-La-Tex at the end of this month.

- Congratulations are in order for Area Champions the Pleasant Grove Hawks as they move onward and upward, as well as Area Champs the Daingerfield Tigers! Both are moving up to their respective Regional Championships in their quarterfinal games this week. Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Nashville this week, but as always, congratulations on a super season!

This is one of the best times of the year, not simply because of the Holiday season that has begun but because it's high school football playoff time in Texas and Arkansas! Some are moving on, and some, their season is over, let's run 'em down and see who's next. Not...

Congratulations to all of our area High School football teams that made the playoffs this year. Be sure you check back here each week to follow along and see how far they all go.

I wanted to write an article about great places to see the beautiful fall colors we usually get in and around the Ark-La-Tex, then it hit me, we may not get that great show from mother nature this year.
