Thursday’s edition of “The Drive with Brad Bobo” emanated from the Paragould Community Center, site of the pre-tournament banquet for the Cal Ripken Baseball 9-and under and 11-and-under Southwest Regional Tournaments which begin Friday. There’s someone new in charge of the City of Paragould’s Parks & Recreation Department, and that hasn’t happened in 43 years! Paragould native Jim Bob Kashak returned home after working at UALR for 12 years to replace Pat Austin in the position after her retirement on June 30.
