Philip Brown, the Board President for the OHTA says that all the storm damage from last year left 2,000 trees along the trails.
Brown says cleaning up the trails is a big expense and the funds from Frost Fest are 'a Godsend.' He also says Frost Fest has kept their maintenance operations afloat.
Frost Fest is Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 to 6 p.m. out at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Tickets are $80 and you must be 21 or older.

Creekmore Park Pool in Fort Smith temporarily closing due to ‘fiberglass irritation' reports from swimmers
FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The pool at Creekmore Park in Fort Smith will be temporarily closed after the city's Parks & Recreation Department received reports from swimmers of fiberglass irritation. The department said in a news release on Wednesday that it received a call concerning fiberglass irritation and was informed of a related social media post earlier this week. The grates around the park's main pool are made of fiberglass, which can wear down over time and begin to flake, the department said. 4 Arkansas-based companies ranked in latest Fortune 500 list The department said that after the pool closes on Thursday, June 5, staff will lower the water level below the grates and gently pressure wash the area to remove any residue. The pool will be closed to the public on June 6. During the closure, staff will apply an epoxy sealer to the grates to prevent flaking and allow the coating to dry thoroughly. On June 7, the pool will reopen to the public. Officials said that there are plans to replace the fiberglass grates in the winter. For more information, visit the city's Facebook page.

Rainy week ahead in Northwest Arkansas, River Valley: Here's what to know
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — An active pattern brings several chances for rain across the region throughout the week. A straight west-to-east upper-level flow, known as zonal flow, brings multiple 'shots' of upper-level lift, which in turn bring rain chances for several days this week. In the early morning, there's a good chance some showers could clip northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri. So, mostly cloudy skies are expected to start, but by early afternoon, skies will start to cloud up, with rain chances dramatically increasing in the evening around 8 p.m. Severe weather is in the forecast, with the main threat being strong winds and hail. This subtle flow weather pattern could bring a few light showers early in the morning. By midday, some more showers and storms are expected. We are still a ways out, so some timing and coverage will change. More shortwave troughs move in to bring rain and storms throughout the day. Through Saturday, 1-3 inches of rain are expected with locally higher amounts of 3-5″ possible. Almost every day, there will be some rain in our weather coverage area.

Weather Blog: Why hazy skies across Northwest Arkansas?
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — May 31 was a beautiful sunny day, but the sky was not blue. Here's why. You may have seen that the sky appeared washed out and hazy. This unusual appearance was caused by smoke from the Canadian wildfires, which had drifted into our region. As seen below, the smoke across our area was quite dense: The smoke originated from wildfires that are ongoing across Central Canada. The map below shows active fires in the Manitoba Region: The upper level flow is out of the North Northwest, which is why the smoke is reaching our area. A snapshot of the visible satellite from earlier this afternoon can be seen below: What other effects is the smoke having on us besides the haze? You might be wondering about the air quality. Check out the stats below: Earlier Saturday evening, air quality across Northwest Arkansas briefly dipped to 'Moderate' levels. By 9 p.m., conditions had improved back to 'Good.' The more hazardous air remains well north, across the Northern Plains. Looking ahead, changes in the jet stream are encouraging. Upper-level high pressure will begin moving in Sunday and will sit directly over our area by Monday, helping to keep thicker wildfire smoke to our east. By Tuesday, a southwest flow returns, clearing out any remaining smoke but also ushering in a more active weather pattern with multiple chances for rain and thunderstorms.
