Celebrate!
   
Funny how some years it seems like the middle of the summer is upon us around the Fourth of July. Then we plunge into the REAL summer heat of July and August and that thought becomes just a memory in our rearview mirror. To smooth that transition to summer, here's to hoping you all get a chance to celebrate our Freedoms on the fourth of July (or on the 3rd if you live up Bella Vista way!) Dig out the coolers....cut up the watermelon and head for the lake or somewhere you can enjoy a cool spot on a hot day. Read on below for all the information on the Bella Vista Independence Blues Festival. Hot blues in a cool location for sure!

 
Thoughts and ideas? As always,you can email me anytime at the address below. We LOVE our readers and want to see
your ideas included!
