Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, an Arkansas judge overturns the states's ban on same-sex marriage, so what's next?
Roby Brock discusses the president's business to Arkansas, Verizon bringing jobs to the state, and more in his weekly business and political news recap.
After Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Chris Piazza overturned the state’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage late Friday, dozens of couples rushed to the only courthouse open in the state on Saturday to obtain licenses—in the “Wedding Capital of the South”--Eureka Springs. Jacqueline Froelich was there. (UPDATE: As of 10:45am May 12th, the Carroll County Clerk's office stopped issuing licenses to same-sex couples, until further notice.)
Ahead on this edition of Weekend Ozarks, the duo Still on the Hill talks about their new album, and how Beaver Lake inspired the songs. Plus, we learn about how Gunderpickles started with a family recipe, and we honor the 100th anniversary of Mother's Day in our Sunday Morning Montage, a song from Cletus Got Shot and more.
Still on the Hill's latest album aims to help educate northwest Arkansas residents about the history of Beaver Lake, and to promote a greater stewardship of the region's largest drinking water reservoir.
The past week in Arkansas saw a visit from President Obama, hundreds of new jobs announced, and expansion plans for one decades-old stadium move forward. We have more in this morning's Week in Review.
Becca Martin Brown, from Northwest Arkansas Newspapers, says this Mother's Day has more than enough choices for Mom. They're free, too.
