Here is a rundown of some of the many events and activities around Texarkana, and some listings of live music. From shopping to entertainment, the Motorcycle run for Toys for Tots and more.
Chris Basham, 34, or Texarkana was arrested and booked into the Miller County Detention Center on a charge of Battery 1 st degree, a Class B Felony. Basham is accused of shooting Donald Hayworth Jr., 38, of Miller County on Line Ferry earlier today.
This Friday, December 10, and Saturday, December 11 it is live arts with “Friday Night Live” at the 1894 Gallery, and the last “Second Saturday Trade Day” downtown for 2021, and a great opportunity to meet some of our local crafters and vendors.
The Texarkana Arkansas apprehended a fugitive out of Monroe, Louisiana suspected of Murder. Christopher Williams, 23, from West Monroe, Louisiana is wanted for Attempted 2nd Degree Murder from Ouachita Parish.
We made a quick stop by the First Assembly of God Church-Lighthouse Ministries on 7th Street in Texarkana Texas as dozens were working hard to build the set for this weekend’s Drive-thru Live Nativity. It’s a free event, and one of the most popular in the Ark-La-Tex!
This Saturday, December 11, the second annual “Cowboy Christmas Ball” will take place at the Four States Fairgrounds inside the Ag Learning Center. Dinner, drinks, the Dusty Rose Band, and more.
A cold front moved thru early Monday morning clearing the way for great parade weather on Broad Street in downtown Texarkana. With almost 100 entries, the theme was “The 12 Days of Christmas” and fun and joy were had by all.
Roasted and packaged with care in downtown Texarkana, some of the best coffees we’ve ever had come from Mission Texarkana. Now even easier to get this fresh coffee with a kiosk inside Texarkana’s Central Mall.
We just LOVE the Drive-thru Live Nativity that they do at First Assembly of God Church on W. 7th Street. Hundreds of people in costumes, animals of all sizes and sorts, and of course the whole reason for the season! There will be three presentations, don’t miss them!
A fantastic family Christmas tradition for a lot of us is the beautiful look of Historic Washington State Park for Christmas. Tours and lots of entertainment are set for Friday, December 10, and Saturday, December 11.
