Holidays

What is the first good thing that pops into your mind when you think about Thanksgiving dinner? Is it the turkey, the family gathering, the smells, seeing people you haven't seen in a while or something else?

With Thanksgiving just around the corner. I was curious as to what restaurants are open for Thanksgiving.  Maybe one we can go to if our family lives across the country or we just don't want to cook. Here is what I found.

The Big Turkey Day is almost here. There is so much preparation and anticipation. Unfortunately, it can go wrong very quickly. Here are some tips on fixing some mistakes that you might make when roasting that turkey. I posted these last year, but it's worth a repeat this year too.

Our Angel Tree at the radio station is still loaded with children's names with their needs and wants for gifts this holiday season. Each name tag has the child's age, clothing and shoe sizes, a wish list and a needs list. You can give a special gift this Christmas to a local child in need who will otherwise go without socks, gloves, shoes and toys.

Please stop by the radio station and pick a child from our Salvation Army Angel Tree. The tree is decorated with names of children in our community that would love to receive items from their wish list and needs list as a little Christmas help from you.

Looking for trick or treats close to home this month? Here is a huge list of Fall festivals, pumpkin patches and haunted trails and houses in the Texarkana area and surrounding communities.

Can't find the perfect pumpkin to make your jack-o'-lantern? No worries.

Have you figured out what you will wear for Halloween this year? If not, check out what is available in Texarkana.

Fireworks on the Fourth of July can be a lot of fun for us but it is a nightmare for our pets. The noise and excitement of the holiday can stress your pets out. All of the popping noises, light flashes and smells make many pets run away from home because they are trying to get away from all of the commotion. Keep your pets safe with the tips below.

The Texarkana Museums System has some great admission deals for you this weekend.

Sparks in The Park is Saturday, June 25, at the Four States Fairgrounds. So get your red, white and blue on and enter the Patriotic Costume Contest.

While many of us will enjoy the holiday weekend with our families doing some grilling, Memorial Day is a day set aside to to show your respect for those who have given their lives for our country, for our personal freedom.
