July 4th

Wow, the July 4th weekend is here and so is the heat to go with it.  Let's see who's playing around town in Texarkana's Live Music Scene for the July 4 - 6 weekend.

The Texarkana area often sees a spike in 911 calls during July 4th celebrations. To address this, the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department (TAPD) is launching its "Safe Celebration Initiative." Partnering with the Arkansas State Police, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and the Miller County Sheriff's Office, TAPD aims to ensure the community enjoys a happy and safe holiday.

Are you ready for some really big Oooo'ing and Ahhhh'ing? Everything is bigger in Texas, right? I don't know if you have seen this record-setting drone show that happened in North Richland Hills, a suburb of Fort Worth, on July 4th, but it was amazing.

Can you believe that the 4th of July is Monday? There are firework shows scheduled for the entire weekend, and I found a video of the shortest firework show ever.

With the 4th of July celebrations only a week away I wanted to share how you can keep your pets safe during all of the random popping that will be going on in and around Texarkana.
