Heat-related illness can be life threatening. So, it’s important to know what to look for in yourself or someone else and treat it right away.

The symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke are similar. Both are serious conditions, but in the case of a heat stroke, you need to get immediate medical attention.

Take these steps to prevent heat-related illness:

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Sports drinks can replace salt and minerals lost in sweat. Avoid alcohol, high-sugar drinks, and very cold drinks.

Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Tight clothing doesn’t allow sweat to evaporate properly and can cause you to overheat.

Avoid outdoor activities in the hottest part of the day. Do yard work or exercise when it is coolest – in the morning and evening.

Eat cool, light food. Hot, heavy meals raise your body temperature.

SO EXCITING! How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Musical, is coming to Walton Arts Center Nov 12-17 and Macaroni Kid has 2 sets of tickets to give away! Enter using the link in the comment below! We will randomly choose 2 winners on Saturday and winners will each receive 4 tickets to the show on Tuesday night at 7 PM!
about the musical:
The Grinch broke box office records for two consecutive years on Broadway during its holiday engagements at the St. James and Hilton theaters in New York. Since then, more than 2.1 million theater-goers across America have been delighted by this heart-warming holiday musical, which The New York Times praised as “100 times better than any bedtime story” and the Gannett papers hailed as “A genius of a show! A total delight for both kids and adults.”

Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated series. Max the Dog narrates while the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small," decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos. Magnificent sets (John Lee Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, while the music and book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. The 2024 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 3-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien.

Statewide aurora event possible tonight (Thursday). 👀💫

Tonight will hold our best chances for northern lights viewing since May.

The latest forecast is below, powered by JAM Mart. Notice the two distinct shadings.

North Arkansas has the best opportunity to see the northern lights overhead.

The southern half of the state could see them on the northern horizon.

The best viewing will probably be well after dark, maybe 10 PM and beyond?

I’ve learned that forecasts related to the aurora can be very fickle and change fast.

Please stay tuned to the latest information.

This data is directly from the University of Alaska, a trusted source for forecasting the northern lights viewing.

I care about this community and the people in it. While Dickson Street can be lots of fun, it can also be dangerous. I offer my establishments as a SAFE PLACE for any individuals who may need help while on Dickson St. My team and I are here 8p-4a Th/Fri/Sat and if you find yourself in an unsafe situation, we’re happy to help.

Sometimes you may feel you’ve had too much to drink and aren’t sure how to get home. We can help find a way to get you home safely.

SAFETY TIPS:
-Don’t drive home intoxicated.

-Charge your phone.
