Hot, that is the temp expected this weekend, and really hot on Saturday. The entertainment is even hotter. Some great live music from an American Idol Contestant, non-stop barrel racing, and our Texarkana Juneteenth Celebration are just part of the weekend’s activities.
Our weekly rundown of local entertainment is made possible by Tony Langford Roofing Company, and Whiskey River Country Club…
