It's almost upon us, that's right the 76th Annual Four States Fair and Rodeo is coming to its final weekend. So what's on the schedule this weekend? There is still a ton of things to do, see and eat!

Warmer temperatures mean more time outside. If you love to take walks or go hiking then please, please be aware of one major law, The Purple Paint Law. if you don't take this law seriously, you could be arrested and wearing orange for a while if you know what I mean.

COVID cases are down and spring is in the air! It's the perfect time for a fishing tournament. The City of Texarkana, Texas and the Texarkana USA Regional Chamber of Commerce have announced they will be hosting the National Professional Fishing League (NPFL) tournament April 22 – 24, 2021.

Have you been getting strange text messages from Amazon? I don't mean the ones that say your order is on the way or delivered. I'm talking about the texts that are saying you have 'Amazon Rewards Credit'

Did you have damage to your home during the big winter storm back in February? Did you know you might be able to get help from FEMA? FEMA is making it super easy to see if they can help you by conducting virtual home inspections.

Who doesn't love Spring photo opportunities, baby animals and the Easter Bunny? It's been a tough year but with Texas and Arkansas opening up it's a great reason to get out and celebrate the season with the whole family.

This past year with the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a lot of things we had to put on hold, but now with everything starting to open back up, it's time to start taking care of business. If you haven't updated your vehicle registration or updated your driver's license it is time to get that done and soon! The last thing you want is a ticket.

Everything is starting to get back to normal including golf tournaments. Harvest Regional Food Bank has announced it will host its Inaugural Drive Out Hunger Golf Tournament Fundraiser Monday, May 17 at Northridge Country Club in Texarkana.
