Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, June 26, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, the National Veterans Golden Age Games are set to take over Fayetteville and the region this weekend; we speak with one 79-year-old Vietnam veteran who hopes to win in his competitions, and we speak with an Arkansas elder who decided to obtain his GED many, many years after his high school years had passed. Plus, while many eyes are on the happenings at the World Cup, we attend a sports match of a different nature, polo, in Bentonville.
Harmony will play at Arts Center of the Ozarks this week. Becca Martin Brown says the band has noticed a change in their audiences over the past four decades.
