Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large
Thursday, June 26, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the National Veterans Golden Age Games are set to take over Fayetteville and the region this weekend; we speak with one 79-year-old Vietnam veteran who hopes to win in his competitions, and we speak with an Arkansas elder who decided to obtain his GED many, many years after his high school years had passed. Plus, while many eyes are on the happenings at the World Cup, we attend a sports match of a different nature, polo, in Bentonville.
Robert Laurence’s first novel is set in the mid-eighties . . . before cell phones and email. The story centers around the letters one writer sends to friends and how those friends’ lives are (and are not) connected. He’ll read from the book Friday night at Nightbird Books on Dickson Street. He came to our studio and talked with us about the book.
Walton Arts Center staff has been unloading trash cans for STOMP today . . . and the Wailers (yes, those Wailers) will be arriving in November.
A bike trail in Fayetteville is reopened, renovations continue at parks in Sebastian County, and the Razorback volleyball team loses its second game this season.
“Paradise Circus” by Massive Attack
The University of Arkansas this morning announced a large gift designated for converting the old fieldhouse on campus into a new performing arts center.
