It's going to be a great weekend for chili and fun at the Self Creek Lodge and Marina's 8th Annual Chili Cook-Off on beautiful Lake Greeson in Kirby, Arkansas this Saturday, October 26.

Autumn is here and soon we will start seeing the beautiful colors too. This is best time to hit the road and enjoy the scenery.  Arkansas is a great place to start. To see the leaves changing color you'll need to start in the northern part of the state first.

The temperatures are cooling down which means it's almost time for Self Creek Lodge and Marina's 8th Annual Chili Cook-Off up the road on Lake Greeson in Kirby, Arkansas on Saturday, October 26.

October is here and Halloween is just around the corner. The big question on everyone's mind is "When will It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown be on T.V.?"  Seriously, this is a classic and is watched by millions every year. Luckily for us, it will be shown twice this month.

Its fair time as the 75th Annual Four States Fair and Rodeo continue through Sunday, September 22. There is fun with games and rides at the Wagner's Carnival on the Midway plus more. Here is a list of the rest of the big events at the fair that you don't want to miss.

It's almost fair time! The Four States Fair Parade is this Saturday, September 14 morning in downtown Texarkana. Get ready for floats, marching bands and music.

Today (August 8) is International Cat Day and it's well deserved. Cats, at times, take a back seat to dogs. Today we raise awareness for felines all around the world and celebrate how awesome cats are! Humans and cats have a unique relationship that goes back 8 to 10 thousand years. Ancient Egyptians even worshiped them.

It's almost Back to School time and that means that something else is just around the corner. It's almost time for Tax-Free Weekends! Both the states of Arkansas and Texas are participating, but on different weekends. Arkansas is this Weekend and Texas will be the next.  Just think, two weekends to stock up on things the kids need and save money at the same time.
