Popcorn and a movie, anyone?
In an age of streaming videos on our cellphones, ipads and other hand held electronic devices, it nice to be able to still go to the movies. Since moving to Hardy I have been able to drive 5 minutes to our local movie theater, The Highland Cinema, and enjoy first run Hollywood productions.

The Holiday season began in earnest this Thanksgiving weekend. There were smiles everywhere to be seen. Family members, friends, guests, visitors and travelers were abundant in Hardy Arkansas.
