Spring Breakin'
It's that time of year...with folks packing up and heading out for Spring Break. Though, as a family, we didn't go all in and do the beach vacation, during those years with kids at home, we did sometimes do some type of day trip or similar. With kids off doing their own thing these days, we sometimes do a long weekend
somewhere nearby. Hot Springs is
a favorite! How about you? Any fun
plans for a spring get away?
We are in the final week for board member and officer nominations from the OBS general membership. Read on below for information on how to get involved.
One new "Mark Your Calendar" article this week. It is an exciting announcement
of the return of a blues music
event in Eureka Springs! Check out the article for dates and a link that will take you to more information.
Always remember, this is YOUR newsletter! Please consider sharing dates that for your favorite artists that are not included in the community calendars we use. We would also love to have a local live blues music reporter to share stories for the newsletter. Many bands have time challenges in submitting information and this would be a great way for fans to show them some love! Please send questions, information, feedback, and suggestions our way. Just click on Sandy's email address below.
We appreciate our readers and want
to see your ideas included!

"I also think
