The new women's basketball league, "Downtown Live", and awesome live music highlight the things to do in Texarkana this weekend.

1. Women's Basketball League. There is a new basketball league in Texarkana for women that still love the game and are looking for a great way to get some exercise and build some friendships through the love of this great game. Stephanie Soloman who is the spark behind this new league had this to say about the new league:

I wanted to have an organization that let ladies that enjoy basketball have a place to get together for a little friendly competition. There are a lot of ladies out there that still have it and I want to bring them together for some fun and to let ladies know that there is a place for you.
