Opening Night Event Glen Campbell...I’ll Be Me
SIC G LIVE M U FEATU R INR FOR MANC ES PE
James Keach | USA | 104 min | Arkansas Premiere This powerful portrait of the life and career of great American music icon Glen Campbell opens to the viewer the world of the singular talent who created hits like Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman and Gentle on My Mind. Glen and his wife Kim made history by going public in 2011 with the star’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis – the first time a major American celebrity would share this experience with the world. Campbell and his family then embarked on a short “Goodbye Tour,” but the three-week engagement turned into an emotional and triumphant 151-show nationwide tour de force. GLEN CAMPBELL…I’LL BE ME is an epic human story of love, resilience and the power of song. Director and producer James Keach, producer Trevor Albert and subjects Kim Campbell, Cal Campbell, Ashley Campbell and Shannon Campbell will attend for a Q & A, followed by a live performance by brother/ sister duo Ashley and Shannon Campbell. Music by more of the Campbell family at the Arlington afterparty provided by Billstown and Drew Henderson Band with guest appearances by Campbell’s siblings Barbara, Sandra, Jane and Gerald.

lowing out of the ground at an average temperature of 143 °F, the hot springs found in Hot Springs National Park, produce almost one million gallons of water a day and were such a coveted natural wonder that in 1832, President Andrew Jackson designed Hot Springs as the first federal reservation. Hot Springs Reservation was essentially America’s first national park, predating Yellowstone National Park by 40 years. The city’s colorful past as the 1930’s playground of Al Capone lingers in the air amidst the majestic turn-of-the-century buildings that make up Bath House Row. Hot Springs is also the boyhood home of our nation’s 42nd President Bill Clinton, who credits the resort city as being responsible for the early educational experiences that led him to a career in public service, first as Arkansas attorney general, then governor of Arkansas, and ultimately the Presidency of the United States. Use the guide below to explore the best that our friendly, historic city has to offer.
