ROGERS — Battle of the Band winners

It was a hard fought day on the library lawn for musical superiority. He is Risen, Pure Radiance, The Ellypses and Amos Moses all battled hard, entertaining the library users while they enjoyed refreshments and hotdogs courtesy of the Rogers library Foundation. In the end though, only one remained, and Amos Moses stood victorious, winning two cases of custom T-shirts from Kaotikwear and 100 bumper stickers. Second place, Pure Radiance, also received 100 bumper stickers and a sound tuner from Sigler Music of Springdale.

All Hobbs trails now open

After months of tree and brush removal following last January's ice storm, all trails at Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area are again open. The last trail section to be cleared was the War Eagle Loop of the Hidden Diversity Multi-Use Trail.

The War Eagle loop stretches six miles and features a scenic overlook of the War Eagle Creek valley.

Hobbs trail maintenance supervisor Al Knox said, "Our volunteers have been steadfast in the trail clean-up effort.

Hobbs suffered more than 100 trees per mile down on our 34 miles of trail. This monumental task would not have been completed in as short as time as it took without the assistance of so many wonderful volunteers."

Hobbs offers four trails: 1-1/2 mile Shaddox Hollow Nature Trail, Historic Van Winkle Trail, Pigeon Roost Trail and the Hidden Diversity Multi-Use Trail. A two-mile spur from the Hidden Diversity trail now extends to the new Hobbs visitor center located on Hwy.

12 just east of the Hwy. 12/War War Eagle Road intersection.
