Letter from Catherine
IJUNE “It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.” ~Maude Heart Lovelace, Author
I love those lines almost as much as I love summer. While summer can be a hectic time for many of us, I hope you'll take time to smell the roses. Start with a trip up the Pig Trail or take a note from our Women of the Wild feature and trek out on an adventure – all right here in The Natural State!
Grab some fuel for your trip at Fort Smith Coffee Co., but first, read about owners Kaity and Gabe Gould, and their journey into the world of java. If you’re still longing for adventure, you’ll find it overflowing at Fort Smith’s own International Film Festival, coming this August! Discover how it came to be and what you can expect, starting on page twenty-eight.
We’re also introducing you to Rob Kenney, whose simple idea to provide fatherly advice via social media skyrocketed him to new heights. We think you’ll agree, he’s a contender for Father of the Year (right after your dad, of course).
We continue our profile series as we recognize three local insurance agencies and agents committed to ensuring our families are protected! There's also a fan favorite, our annual House and Home Guide. We’ve partnered with local experts with the experience and professionalism needed to help you get the job done right, right from the start.
All this, plus our monthly adoption spotlight, fiction, two delicious recipes made with my favorite – pineapple – and so much more. Continue to show our local shops the love and thank you for loving Do South® – see you in July.
