Watermelon rind
All that’s left from the Watermelon Festival is the rind…and lots of good memories, of course. The Good Lord even sent a deluge Saturday evening and washed up the leftover smushed candy down the parade route in downtown Farmerville. Besides the parade, street dance, seed spitting contest and activities like a bass tournament in the … Continue reading
The simple truth
Why do people lie, or tell half truths, when just being honest would be so easy? Sometimes, it’s an illness. Other times, it is simply to cover up what they have done.

Perchfest 2.0
They’re at it again, those pesky Ouachita River hot water perch jerkers. It’s Perchfest 2.0, scheduled for August 27th on the beautiful Ouachita River.

They got their jig on…
Seems like everybody had a good time at the “Get Your Jig On” crappie tournament this past weekend out at Alabama Landing. Except one group. The crappie.
