Letter from Catherine

SPRUNG
There’s not much better than a beautiful spring day. The days grow longer, winter’s chill begins to fade away and beautiful blooms and fresh blades of green grass begin to emerge from hibernation. With so much to explore in the Natural State, it’s time we come out of hibernation too!
This month, I have three ways to get you out of the house and enjoy the season! We begin with a tiptoe through hundreds of thousands of tulips at Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs. Feeling more adventurous? Don’t miss our Kick Start Guide to Floating in Arkansas! Looking to make a road trip? How about a weekender to Newport, Arkansas where your mission is dinner and drinks at Postmaster Spirits – find out why it made our bucket list, starting on page twenty-six. Next, we’re sharing the mission of Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund and how they’re helping single parents reach their goals. Then, we get up close and personal with legendary musician, the incredible Gary Hutchison of Oreo Blue. You’ll also find unique ways to dye your Easter eggs naturally, recipes, book recommendations, and not just one, but four contests from local businesses!
