Eureka Springs - Make room for Shakespeare and Bluegrass this weekend

We are so lucky to live here in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Two big items of interest this week are Shakespeare and the 7th annual Family Bluegrass weekend. Two completely different items but both fit perfectly here-

1) Shakespeare - Shakespeare in the Ozarks is being considered strongly by the City Parks and Recreation Commission. It has been suggested that it be placed in Harmon Park - one of our MANY great parks located within the city limits of Eureka Springs. I know Harmon Park very, very well as I take my twin grandchildren there to play in the "Green Park" as they call it. It has been named this by them as most of the playground equipment is colored green. Hopefully, Shakespeare will be approved and maybe my 4 year old twins can ask me about and experience these performances?

2) Bluegrass - This time of year is a perfect time to have an outdoor festival. It was 62 degrees when I woke up this morning and it not expected to be over the high 70's today - oh yes- I love living in the Ozarks Mountains. The Bluegrass weekend will be completely free and be performed outside as I mentioned. Here are some groups which are expected- the Cobb Family, the Williams Family, Ozark Alliance and Buffalo City Ramblers to name a few. Basin Park is another one of our great City Parks and has an Amphitheater - located in downtown Eureka Springs.
