Hey, it's Lynn –

Happy Friday!

Sun’s out today and tomorrow — beautiful weather before some much-needed rain rolls in for a few days. Plan accordingly. ☀️🌧️

This weekend brings Send It South in Bentonville — a high-energy mix of bikes, music, and community at the Momentary — plus multiple chili cook-offs heating up Rogers. You’ll also find live music, local history talks, a dog show, a car meet, and more across Northwest Arkansas.

Before you head out —here is a new video I made for you.

🥪 NYC Express Deli now has a new location in Rogers (the Springdale spot is still open). It’s tucked inside a gas station — don’t let that fool you. Big portions, made-to-order food, and genuinely friendly service. Yes, it takes a few minutes — because they cook it fresh.

Scroll down and plan your weekend.👇
