Foley’s documentary, “The Buffalo Flows,” preceded a record-setting increase in canoe rentals the next year. “Somehow or another I’ve carved out a career telling these stories. It has been and still remains to be great fun for me,” Foley said. “If people get half as much entertainment out of the stories I tell, as I get in telling them, then I’ve really done something.” But Fayetteville will always feel like home to Foley. “I’ve lived all over Arkansas, and I consider myself an absolute dyed in the wool Arkansan,” he said. “That old story about you can’t go home. Well, you can go home, and Fayetteville is home for me.”

He’s garnered five Emmy awards and 13 nominations in the process. “I’m always looking for a good story. As Mark Twain said, ‘I love a good story well told, that’s why I’m forced to tell them myself,’” he said, with a laugh. “Because I’m based in Arkansas and I am an Arkansan, I relish telling stories that are good stories, and have escaped general knowledge.” Larry Foley lives to uncover the untold stories of Arkansas.
