LAST YEAR, we traveled back to 1898 for the infamous Eureka Springs Jailbreak and the ensuing "Jailbird Ball". Our guests were treated to an unforgettable evening of period music and entertainment, mugshots, a silent auction of items from the "evidence room", an immersive jailbreak experience, social dancing, and some of the best "prison food" ever served on this side of the Mississippi.
THIS YEAR, we're getting into a different groove! On the evening of August 8, 2025, we're breaking out the bell-bottoms, tie-dye, and longhair fashions as we pay tribute to the Eureka Springs of 1973 and the "Longhair Invasion" of back-to-the-land artists, musicians, and free-thinkers that turned our town into an original Ozark hippie haven.

Sunday Sunrise Coffee Ride
Park in the South Lot: (People will be arriving at the Church for the early service about the time we're returning so let's be respectful and let them park closest to the Worship Center. It's going to be hot so we're being smart... Let's ride in the cool of the morning. Wheels Hot at 6:15 a.m.. Don't call or text saying that you're running 2 minutes late due to traffic, because we know that's not happening on a Sunday morning.
This week our route will be 8-10ish miles w/ a brief stop for a small coffee along the way. Expect a few "golden hour" photo stops. Pace is 12-13 mph. (Just a little snappier than our usual pace has been) All types of bikes, all types of people welcome.
This ride is FREE thanks to volunteer leads and sweeps courtesy the Bentonville Church of Christ and Springdale Bike Club. We recommend hydration, basic bike repair kit, blinky lights, and helmet.
(Yes, we already know this early for some of us, and you're missing out! Yes, we know some of you will be pushing to get home and get cleaned up for the second service! Let's step out of comfort zones, hustle up, and share a sunrise together. It's okay of we show up without our hair dried and make-up perfect. Jesus still loves me... the Bible tells me so.)
