Memorial Day

Right off the bat, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the tornado in Moore, Okla. and anyone who sustained any damage from the weather in our Area.  Dukes & Boots will be taking donations for the Moore victims of the deadly F-5 tornado.  Please donate, no donation is to small.  Remember, this is going to be a crazy weather season and it's going to get worse, so be prepared

Memorial Day is coming up soon, which means the beginning of swimming season is quickly approaching. This also means plenty of painful belly flops, fully-clothed people falling into pools and our latest hilarious discovery, diving fails.

Here's a look at some of the local ways people are celebrating Memorial Day.

Memorial Day weekend is coming up, and many people will be hitting the road to join in some Memorial Day festivities with their friends and families.  Whether you're heading to a friend's barbecue or attending one of the holiday events downtown, you'll probably be doing some driving this weekend.  Unfortunately, you might be spending quite a bit on gas money to get where you're going.

Kids, Memorial Day will be here before you know it.  Towards the end of the month, several of you lucky ducks will get a day off work.  While obviously the actual Memorial Day (May 27) is very important for remembering your deceased loved ones, the weekend is also well known as a big barbecue time. I'm sure some of you will be living the life, grilling out on the deck, backyard or garage, sitting

While many Americans were enjoying the leisurely activities associated with Memorial Day weekend, there were thousands in Florida and Georgia who experienced the harshness of Tropical Storm Beryl.

I know there are several of us who have to work this holiday.  Several of my colleagues and I are some of them.

As we get ready to light the grills, have fun at the lake or hang out at the pool to celebrate Memorial Day, please take a moment to reflect on the reason for the day.

Friday afternoon I got to go to Car Mart, where they were having a big "half off the down" payment sale for Memorial Day.

The end of the school year is here, and Memorial Day weekend is a way most get into the swing of things as a family for the summer. While most will head out to the Lake of the Ozarks, go watch a baseball game or have a family reunion or picnic, a few years ago I started a tradition with my son, and I hope to share it with the whole family.
