Friends of Hot Springs National Park (FHSNP) and the National Park Service are hosting “Red, White & You,” a free, family-focused old fashion patriotic “Picnic in the Park” on July 4, from 10:30–3:30, on Arlington Lawn.
All are invited to dress in red, white, and blue. Family activities include a bounce house, games, face painting, temporary tattoos, and educational exhibits by National Park staff. Food for purchase includes burgers, hot dogs, and fabulous pulled pork prepared by the Ohio Club chefs Mike Pettey and Mike Dampier, along with beverages, featuring beer from Superior Bathhouse Brewery, cotton candy and snow cones.
A big salute goes out to all the sponsors for their generous support of this fund-raising event: The Ohio Club, Arvest Bank, KQUS/US97, Morris Foundation, The Gangster Museum of America, Superior Bathhouse Brewery, Fat Bottomed Girls Cupcake Shoppe, Gross Funeral Home, Hog Wild Events, Bobby Brown Private Wealth Advisors, Bank OZK, Lake Ice, and Hot Springs National Park. Additional sponsorships are available.
