GLOW hot-air balloon event aids Children's Smile Center in Ozark
OZARK, Mo. — The 19th annual GLOW air balloon event is happening in Ozark to support the Children's Smile Center on Friday, June 20. According to a Children's Smile Center press release, the air balloon event is being presented by Ozark Chevrolet and starts at 8:45 p.m. on June 20 at Finley River Park in Ozark. The event will include multiple hot air balloons and a 60 to 90 minute light show, the release says. Visitors will be able to see the balloons up close, speak with the pilots and get inside the basket. 'The GLOW is a fun event for all ages,' Jackie Barger, executive director, said in the release. 'Rarely do people have the opportunity to see the balloons close up, but here you can visit with the pilots and then watch an amazing light show. We want everyone to know that the event is extremely sensitive to weather and wind conditions. The unpredictability of Ozarks weather means there is always a chance the event could not be held. Please keep informed through our Facebook page.' The event is part of the Sertoma Duck Race Festival, which will be from June 20 to June 21. The festival will include live music, food booths, business vendors and a kids' zone with carnival activities. The GLOW event's funding goes to the Children's Smile Center to provide dental care for children from ages 1 to 19 covered by Missouri Medicaid who live in Christian, Stone, Taney, Dade, Barry or Lawrence Counties. The dental clinics reside in Ozark, Branson West and Aurora. 'We are grateful to local corporate sponsors for underwriting this event and providing funds to help provide our dental clinics to people from low-income families served by Medicaid,' Barger said. 'Because of this support, we are privileged to put smiles on many faces, just like our GLOW.' For more information on the event, visit GLOW's Facebook event. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Trump dismisses protests, touts Kennedy Center's future at ‘Les Mis' opening
President Trump on Wednesday attended the opening night performance of 'Les Misérables,' one of the first shows to hit the stage at the Kennedy Center since Trump drastically overhauled the performing arts center's operations. Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended the show and a fundraiser in support of the center. A smattering of protesters greeted Trump outside the Kennedy Center, and a handful of performers skipped Wednesday's performance in protest of Trump's attendance. 'I couldn't care less,' Trump said of the boycotts. 'All I do is run the country well.' The president said Wednesday's fundraiser brought in $10 million for the Kennedy Center. The performance at the Kennedy Center's nearly 2,400-seat Opera House was completely sold out, according to officials. Some 'specialty seating' tickets, which included a meet-and-greet with the president, were being sold for as much as $2 million. 'We want to bring it back better than ever. As you know it needs a little help from the standpoint of age and fitness, but it's going to be fantastic,' Trump said. 'Les Misérables' is one of the most major productions to hit the Kennedy Center's stages since Trump overhauled the performing arts institution's board in February and named himself its chair. The president, who had accused the Kennedy Center of being too 'woke,' appointed his envoy for special missions Richard Grenell as its interim executive director. The president went on to appoint a slew of political allies as board members, including chief of staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo and senior White House official Sergio Gor. The Kennedy Center earlier this month denied reports that it allegedly saw a 36-percent decline in sales subscriptions following Trump's takeover of the arts hub. The president didn't step foot in the center during his first term in office, bucking tradition and declining to attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors event after several of the awards recipients criticized him.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – This week's Norman's Neighborhood, we meet Ashton, a teenager who has grown up in North Little Rock and watched Officer Norman give and give.

Norman's Neighborhood: Uncle Kenny Wayne is jamming to achieve victory over violence Ashton is a 13-year-old who just wrapped up 7th grade. He was also the vice president of his class. 'Ashton has always been a good kid as long as I've known,' Officer Norman said. Officer Norman has known Ashton since he was born. He was even there at the bus stop when Ashton's older sister was his age. Ashton says being inspired by Officer Norman has led him to adopt a giving mentality. Speaking to Norman, Ashton says, 'How you go from neighborhood to neighborhood putting smiles on people's faces, I want to do the same thing.' 'It feels good to me that when you were watching, I was doing the right thing,' Norman replied. To all the difference makers out there, Officer Norman emphasizes that 'it takes being different to make a difference.' 'I mean, different as you have to stand out above everyone else,' he added. Norman's Neighborhood: North Little Rock sisters setting example that you're never too young to impact others But in doing so, make sure you stay true to yourself. 'You are not going to be the next Officer Norman, you are going to be the next Ashton,' Norman said. 'You're 13 now, and your focus is neighborhoods and making people smile,' Officer Norman said.
