Friday mornings at the Center are guaranteed to be FUN!

Gideon Keas, our great Eureka Springs middle school teacher, will be heading up Four Fun Fridays in July and your child is invited to each and every one!

For children ages 5-9.

It’s party time, it’s crafts time, it’s singing and dancing and reading time! And, of course, it’s always snack time!

Drop by the Community Center to enroll your child now. Enrollment is limited. The cost? FREE-FREE-FREE for all children!

Here’s a look at the fun we have planned (however, even the best laid plans can change):

Friday, July 8 – Let’s Sing with a guest musician! And why not write a song or two? The hills will be alive with music and crafts today. Do you know what? Eureka Springs Public Library Director, April Griffith, will pop in today too!

Friday, July 15 – Let’s Dance with Zumba® Instructor Extraordinaire, Mallory Butler. We’ll take a breather and then dance some more!

Friday, July 22 – Caturday with a visit from Beckie Moore from Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. It will be roaring good time.

Friday, July 29 – Water, Water Everywhere Let’s read about aquatic animals and all the other squishy watery animals in our oceans. We will get crafty and we will get WET!

Our sponsors have made this program possible. Thank you, All Seasons Real Estate, Booze Brothers, Flint Street Fellowship, Hogscald Hollow Cabins, and Quantum Construction Management.

Brittney Booth will be leading a glade hike on the Steven Foster Trail at Lake Leatherwood.. We hope you can join us and learn all about our glades at Lake Leatherwood. Please meet up in the Lake Leatherwood parking lot.

Beat the heat and meet at the Eureka Springs Community Center parking lot at 9am for an easy beginner ride through Eureka Springs, encompassing some of our local trails and streets!

The ride begins and ends at the Center.

Participants must bring their own bikes and helmets are mandatory.

Child minimum age is 8 and must be accompanied by an adult and have the ability to ride the distance. Children 13 and older are OK alone but must have parents’ permission.

Mountain bikes or hybrid bikes that can be ridden on gravel are encouraged.

There will be experienced riders leading and sweeping the ride. As this is a ride designed for everyone, the uphill portion will be limited as much as possible.

So, get your bike out of the garage, dust off your helmet and join your community for this summertime ride!

Organized by the CC Riders – the Ozarks Off Road Cyclists.

Please join Dr. Don Steinkraus for a workshop on the effects that invasive species have on native species and on the ecosystem as a whole (i.e. wildflowers, insects, birds, etc.).

Dr. Steinkraus will cover many of the more critical invasive species in the Ozarks and will discuss what we can do to help manage and control these species. Dr. Steinkraus is a research professor at the University of Arkansas who works on biological control and Integrated Pest Management of insects with microbial pathogens.

These great groups have formed a collaborative to propagate native plants for use in Eureka Springs parks and to share their knowledge with the rest of us.
