Taborian Hall is experiencing synergy in 2026.
As a woman, wife, mother, grandmother, and citizen who loves this country and this flag, I am concerned.
Current events reflect patriotism and flag sales.
Well, he did it again. For the second year in a row, P Allen Smith welcomed Little Rock’s Trinitas Choir and friends to his beautiful Moss Mountain Farm. Together, we celebrated the Winter Solstice with a crackling bonfire, tours his impeccably kept home and grounds, and music that filled the evening air with warmth and reverence.

How Kerry McCoy Became an Enterprise
Why do hospitals advertise for more patients when they can’t even take care of the ones they already have due to chronic understaffing and a shortage of available beds?
It takes a long time to become a good Queen. I often think about Queen Elizabeth II; how young she was when given so much responsibility. I admired her British sensibility, bringing calm thoughtfulness to her important decision making.
Thanksgiving is about spending time with family and friends and is an important time to talk less and listen more. This is hard for me …
I’m having a blast planning this new bar business, Kerry Lou’s LLC, at Flag and Banner.
It probably won’t make much money, but I don’t believe it will lose any either. It’s more about having fun and business creativity. As my long-time friend and actress Joey Lauren Adams says about her new bar/restaurant in Hot Springs, Arkansas, “I want a sexy bar” and I think I do, too.
The passing of my father-in-law, Grady Lee McCoy, Jr. on July 3rd has brought with it a wave of emotions and a long list of decision making. Thankfully, husband Grady’s father had done some Estate Planning, that was nice and incredibly helpful. However, he hadn’t done a lot of funeral planning…
Everyone wants to die fast, but that is not the way of most.
This week, Grady’s 92-year-old father took his last breath. He had been winding down since October, hanging on to life, we believe, for his wife of 68 years.
As the owner of a flag company with locations in both Arkansas…
Earlier this year I blogged about traditional retail being passe and, on my daughters suggestion, that I was going to reduce the inventory in our Flag And Banner (FAB) retail store. Well, since then I have decided to go even further.
During and around the COVID-19 pandemic, I purchased three businesses from women in their 70s who were ready to retire. Two were flag companies, which I merged into FlagandBanner.com, and the third was OurCornerMarket.com, a website specializing in plaques and memorials. At the time, I was in my late 60s and thought, “I will never retire” …
Now I know why, at 70, my adrenal gland has given up the ghost, leaving me forever reliant on hydrocortisone. I would like to blame it entirely on the Keytruda medicine I took in 2024 for my melanoma, but I don’t think I can blame it all on the cancer curing drug.
To be honest, I may have played a part, because you see, I am an adrenaline junkie. No, I don’t jump out of planes, or fight fires, but I do thrive on business and social risks, for instance…
The story of Matthew and Dreamland began in utero.
I was pregnant with middle-son Matthew Savage McCoy when I bought and restored the Taborian Hall with its Dreamland Ballroom on the 3rd floor. Little did I know at the time that he was going to grow and inherit my love of this old building.
Son Matthew uses the phrase “Keep dreaming,” when he closes his emails that go out to the hundreds of dedicated supporters of the Friends of Dreamland Ballroom. It reminds me of this quote from Thoreau …
