Well, the Memorial Day holiday seems to have clearly launched summer weather here in Northwest Arkansas. So we all get the honor of donning our favorite summer clothes and joining our friends on the nearest patio for a cold one. Patio options abound here in NWA and many a favorite artist can be found sharing their tunes for all to enjoy. Why not take your que and check out your favorite artist...or maybe even go hear someone new!
Thouhts and ideas? As always,you can email me anytime at the address below. We LOVE our readers and want to see
your ideas included!
