Good morning RJ, 

Some Pinal County residents were unpleasantly surprised when the county announced plans to develop a shooting range for the sheriff’s office just south of Arizona Farms road. Neighbors to the proposed shooting range say they weren’t notified about the project, which they fear could drop their property values by as much as 50%. 

Big news for Country Thunder fans: Country Thunder has announced its lineup for April. It includes familiar faces to the Pinal’s largest music festival of the year, like Blake Shelton, as well as some newcomers. See the full list of main stage performers here. 

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? We sure are! We’re already thinking about all the mouthwatering food 😍.

(And be on the lookout for a very special Thanksgiving episode of Back Story this week).

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we may just have one more thing to add to the list of things to be grateful for this year. A new survey shows that the prices of a turkey dinner went up this year — but not as high as you might have expected.
