Choices abound from the natural life to nightlife

Arkansas is the quintessential retreat for recreational vehicle owners who want to get away from it all – whether in a mountain setting, beside streams, on the lakeshore or in the heart of wine country; after all, this is The Natural State. But those who enjoy city nightlife, museums, spa treatments, roller coasters, historic architecture, shopping, golf and fine dining have plenty of escapes to choose from as well. A full list of RV facilities, some in the city and some along lakeshores, can be found at www.Arkansas.com/places-to-stay/campgrounds-rvs.

Falls Fuel: Full Service Gas and Oil Exhibit
Ongoing through October 15, 2017: Petroleum has been a daily part of American life since crude oil was refined into kerosene for lamps to light homes during the 19th century. Often called Black Gold, petroleum is used today to make many everyday items such as plastics, cosmetics, tires, and of course gasoline. Gasoline was once just a by-product in the production of kerosene, but after the automobile became popular in the early 1900s, the demand for gasoline skyrocketed. Over time, gas station design in the United States evolved with changes in drivers, cars, and cities. What once began as a hardware store clerk filling a bucket of gas and bringing it to the car parked at the curb, soon became the gas station we know today.

Don't miss out on these exciting events taking place in Catalina Island, California.

After months of anticipation, Stones Throw Brewing Co. opened for business in April 2016, marking itself as Bellingham’s 10th brewery in operation. The name “Stones Throw” comes from the idea that its Larrabee Avenue location is the “closest pint to adventure.” Just a “stones throw” away from the Interurban Trail, Boulevard Park, downtown Bellingham, and Chuckanut Drive, the venue appeals to beer lovers and adventurists alike. Stones Throw is owned by Jack Pflueger and Tony Luciano, the latter of whom is also the brewer.

The public then will be invited to eat free servings of the strawberry shortcake.
