FFA Alumni BBQ
Rodeo Arena
We are excited to host a new event this year, prior to the livestock show!
When I was looking through old Fowler FFA history with one of my classes, we couldn't help but notice how many parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents had gone through this program. It was so cool to see the deep FFA history in this town and the generations that had worn the blue jacket. This sparked a conversation that led to the first annual FFA Alumni BBQ. We want to invite all former Fowler FFA members and their families to join us for hamburgers and sides from 2:00pm-6:00pm. Whether you graduated 70 years ago, or you are class of 2025, we'd love to see you there!

Meeting Place: Visitor Center Lobby
Herb Class Fee: $150.00
Taught by Susan Belsinger
*** Click Here for more information or to register. ***
This class is about keeping healthy naturally as we go about our daily lives. We will discuss these herbs and how to use them as we pass them around and we will taste simple infusions of most of them to familiarize you with their flavor and how to prepare them.
Some of these herbs might be familiar to you and we can harvest them from the Heritage Herb Garden. Others are leaves, roots or berries that have been used for centuries by herbalists from around the world. We will examine each one of these healing botanicals for identification, discuss their healing properties and taste them in infusions, syrups or tinctures.
We will cover herbs used as:
~ adaptogens (for stress & anxiety)
~ nervines (support the nervous system)
~ tonics (herbs that help tonify the body used for preventative maintenance)
~ anti-inflammatory herbs
Each student will make an herbal tea blend, and herbal syrup and a tincture to take home.
Bring an apron, to-go mug or drinking jar and a sturdy basket or box to carry your goodies home. I will provide handouts, however you might bring a notebook.
Pre-registration is required.
Class minimum is 3 and maximum is 10.
Lodging is available in the park at our Cabins at Dry Creek, newly remodeled duplex-style hotel rooms. There is a Folk School discount for students booking more than 3 days. Call the Cabins office at 870-269-0861 to book with the discount.

Arkansas Sounds Songwriter Showcase: Amy Garland Angel, Charlotte Taylor, Emily Fenton, King Honey
100 River Market Ave, Little Rock, AR
Join us Saturday, July 19th for the Arkansas Sounds Songwriter Showcase featuring Amy Garland Angel, Charlotte Taylor, Emily Fenton, and King Honey!
Amy Garland Angel is a songwriter, social worker, mom, wife, community radio d.j. and avid list maker. She started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of nine. As a young girl, she was a regular on Hayride stages and as a teenager, she made her rounds in the Hwy 80 honkytonks of Louisiana with a fake I.D. Garland Angel moved to Arkansas in 1995. During her years in the Natural State, she has become a fixture in the Little Rock music scene, touring the south and surrounding herself with some of the best musicians in the region. Amy hosts the weekly Americana-flavored 'Backroads' radio show on Little Rock’s renowned KABF 88.3 and is the regular host of KUAR’s Arkansas Flyer.
Charlotte Taylor is a vocalist, songwriter, and blues artist from central Arkansas. Performing with her band, "Charlotte Taylor and Gypsy Rain" across the mid-south, Charlotte has competed in the International Blues Contest making it to the semi-finals. She was awarded an Arkansas Arts Foundation grant for Delta Blues Songwriting.
Emily is an artist from Little Rock, Arkansas with roots in Ithaca and New York City. Her music is born of a desire to connect with others through stories, lyrics, and melodies. An affinity for cut-to-the-chase lyrics and a fascination for psychedelic concept albums led to the creation of her first full-length album, Hello, from Planet Earth. The record, blending elements of classic country, folk, and contemporary indie-rock, heightens a mundane world through the lens of falling in love. The record was recorded at White Water Tavern in the summer of 2022.
King Honey (Dazzmin “Dazz” Murry) is a two-time Emmy-nominated artist, producer, and composer known for her groundbreaking work at the intersection of music, culture, and community. As one half of the acclaimed duo Dazz & Brie, she has earned national recognition for her powerful sound and creative vision, with major sync placements including A Fall From Grace and Nobody’s Fool by Tyler Perry, as well as composing for Face’s Music Party on Nick Jr. and the Emmy-nominated theme song and marketing promotion for Rise and Shine on Arkansas PBS.
Beyond the stage and studio, King Honey is the Executive Director of Creators’ Village, a nonprofit supporting artists and creative entrepreneurs and co-founder of 501FEST, a dynamic festival celebrating Central Arkansas culture through music, food, and community. With every project, she brings an unmatched commitment to creative excellence and cultural impact.

The Arkansas River and Lake Dardanelle provide a spectacular setting for both wildlife and people to live in and enjoy. Volunteers are needed to clean our local waterways to keep them healthy. Join forces with Lake Dardanelle State Park for the Arkansas River Cleanup to make an impact and keep the area a beloved place to both live in and visit.
The park has a limited number of kayaks available that can be reserved for the cleanup by calling (479) 967-5516 (must be 12 or older, minors must have an adult). Volunteers are welcome to bring their own boats as well. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the visitor center, and we will launch boats at 9 a.m. at the kayak beach. Supplies will be provided. Please wear clothing you don’t mind getting wet and bring water, sun protection, and insect repellent. Volunteers are also encouraged to pick up litter along the shorelines as well. Use of park kayaks is dependent on river conditions.

Title: Brush Strokes
Running Time: 9:03
Directed by: Obed Lamy
Logline: When a 75-year-old man turns to art therapy to recover from a stroke, he rediscovers his lifelong dream of becoming an artist.
Synopsis:In 2015, Larry Harper experienced a stroke that left him with limited speech and mobility. A retired factory worker, Larry turned to painting as both physical and emotional therapy. Brush Strokes offers an intimate look at his journey of resilience, revealing the often-overlooked power of creative expression in stroke recovery, aging, and reclaiming lost dreams.

A Fulbright Scholar and recipient of a Student Emmy, his films have screened nationally and internationally at festivals and institutions including the Smithsonian, the Toronto Black Film Festival, and Crystal Bridges Museum.
