Arkansas is Frighteningly Fun - 10/13 Weekend

Whether you're looking for awesome amusement or a terrifying treat, Arkansas has enough activities to keep you and your family entertained.

In this episode, Travel Writer Kim Williams highlights a couple of fun and scary places that are fun for the whole family.  We'll go on a trip to central Arkansas to an annual fair where you can go on carnival rides and sample delicious fried foods.

If you would rather celebrate October by seeking thrills you can't find on a ride, then Williams has the news on 3 freakishly fascinating events in the Natural State.  These events are filled with ghouls, zombies, and just all around fun.

Featured stops in this episode include Powhatan, Little Rock, Helena-West Helena, and Fairfield Bay.

A graduate of the radio-television program at A-State, Mark Smith earned his degree in broadcasting in 1986 and received a Master of Public Administration in 2015. He actually started in radio in 1982, just out of high school, with a part-time summer job at KBXM, a small AM station in Kennett, Mo. After his freshman year at Arkansas State, he landed another summer job at KBOA/KTMO in Kennett and continued to work weekends there while attending college.
