Good morning, Bentonville.

Bentonville is set for a busy weekend of events starting Friday, July 25 with live shows at The Momentary and HUB Bike Lounge and a free kitty bingo at Best Friends Pet Resource Center.

A Christmas in July bar crawl runs Saturday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.—benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation—while bubble parties at Crystal Bridges and a downtown Farmers Market round out the local lineup.

Walmart opened a large new Global Security Operations Center in its corporate campus that is five times larger than the old center and now watches for global threats from wildfires to cyber attacks— using a wall-sized map that updates every 15 seconds.

More than 30 staff and partners work together to help the company quickly respond to emergencies.

Today, an exhibition titled 'Entheos!' opens in Bentonville—featuring work by enthusiastic and meditative local artists who celebrate everyday spirit through their art.

Bentonville Parks and Recreation announced a Razorback Greenway relocation project near mile marker 32.2 that will create a safe trail from Bentonville High School to the Walmart Campus — featuring a tunnel under Highway 102.

A groundbreaking event is scheduled for Friday, July 25 at 12pm behind the Arend Arts Center.

Bentonville officials announced an overnight road closure on Southwest A Street between Southwest Second and Southwest Third from 10 p.m. tonight until 5 a.m. Friday for work on the Adult Recreation Center project—weather or unforeseen issues may postpone the closure.

A local outdoorsman camped on a Buffalo River gravel bar last Friday and tested new gear including a solar-powered LED lantern and a retractable Coleman lantern stand—he left his rain fly packed away to let in a cool breeze during the hot night.

He also recalled past trips, noting a severe storm that flattened tents and a memorable outing with his sons, to explain the benefits and challenges of his gear choices.
