    Tontitown Winery, a Northwest Arkansas Destination

    The Ranalli family have done quite a lot to put Tontitown on the map. Between their multi-generation Ranalli family farm, local farm supply, and seasonal grocery store, in many ways they’ve contributed to the city’s growth and success. The Tontitown Winery, in turn, has thrived along with the rest of the family’s ventures. Yet like their other businesses, the Tontitown winery remains personable and accessible, with the family staffing the floor and interacting with their customers. Please join the Dixiecast as we interview the winery's owner, Heather Ranalli Peachee and come back for some local entertainment under the stars. #tontitown #arkansas #ozarks #winery #localbusiness tontitownwinery.com Located at 335 N. Barrington Road Tontitown, AR 72762

    Meet the Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council Officers of Washington County

    Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council (EHC) is one of the largest nonprofit volunteer groups in the state. With a membership of over 3,700 and over 350 clubs, this organization plays a meaningful role in the communities it serves. In this episode we speak with Washington County EHC Officers: Mary King, Incoming President; Amie Birdsong, Incoming Secretary, and Anna Goff, Family and Consumer Sciences - County Extension Agent and EHC Advisor at the Washington County Extension Office. Learn how this organization improves the lives of Arkansans through research-based information, through non-formal education to help all Arkansans improve their economic well-being and the quality of life. There is likely an EHC club that will interest you in Washington County. Through the Cooperative Extension Service, you can learn more about agriculture, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences, or community development.

    Mother's Day with Mary Jo. 1932-2020

    In keeping with tradition, "The Sound of the South" I dedicate this episode to my mom, Mary Jo who passed away in 2020. She was born and raised in the South and in this episode I discuss the irony of having moved to an area very similar to where she grew up. It was a little emotional editing this episode as I included live audio of Mom describing how she and my dad met, a story I'd never heard until recently. Listening to it makes me realize how that generation took with it so many things I hold dear today. I end the episode with my mom telling a story about when she was a young girl and a prank she played on her brother after he spoke disrespectfully toward her. I'm not sure what's more amusing; the prank itself or to hear her tell it. Happy Mother's Day! #happymothersday #mom #thesouth

    Downtown Springdale, Arkansas and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History

    Nestled in the heart of Northwest Arkansas, Springdale radiates a youthful and modern vibe and a culturally diverse population. This historic city is currently undergoing Downtown improvements which is significantly enhancing its desirability. Join me today as we take in the Razorback Greenway which snakes through much of Washington and Benton Counties; explore the grounds of the Shiloh Museum of the Ozarks; and conclude with a stroll down the parts of Emma Street not affected by the construction. #springdale #ozarks #arkansas #arkansasrealestate #nwarkansas #historicalplaces

  7. Flying Arkansas at XNA Airport

    Flying Arkansas at XNA Airport

    Northwest Arkansas Airport (XNA) is unlike a lot of other national airports I've visited. Instead of being stuck at the end of town, XNA is kind of in the middle of everywhere you'd want to visit. Recently over 500 airports across the United States submitted applications to receive federal money from the US Dept of Transportation Small Community Development program. The Transportation department was looking to support airports that among other things, had aging infrastructure and ADA compliance issues. XNA was one of 85 airports to receive money and it ended up receiving 13 million dollars which will help with some pretty special projects expected to be completed by the Spring of 2025. Tune in this week's episode in the link below to learn what's ahead for XNA!
