Props to whoever named this week’s featured available pets at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter. Meet Spike and Glitter Pants.
Former Bentonville Mayor Terry Coberly plans to replace departing Ward 4 Alderwoman Sarah Lewis on the Fayetteville City Council.
Speaking of the Council, the members will consider approving a fireworks make-up day at tonight’s meeting.
And speaking of fireworks, the city’s Fire Marshal assures us there’s no ban on grilling during the burn ban. Just don’t try to cook anything using an open fire pit.
Hey, look! It’s this week’s Flyer Sponsor deals and more.
