Time again for the lake and river shoreline cleanup. With lake levels as low as they have been in a couple of years even more of the shoreline will need to be picked up. Volunteers are encouraged to come out to marinas on the lake this Saturday to help.

Entertainment this year will be Don Nunley and the Good Timers, The Gardner Boys and the Harding Concert Choir. The Recruiting and Retention Command out of Little Rock will also have their climbing wall there.

Call the association office if you have any questions.

Dena Woerner who is the Communications Director for the Arkansas Tourism Division interviewed Kris Allen on some of his favorite spots in Arkansas including Greers Ferry Lake. Check out the podcast at the link:

Warm weather is here again and now is the perfect time for you, your class, group or organization to take the Augusta History Walk. The walk features many of the key historic buildings and monuments of Augusta and also tells several, unique stories from the past, such as how the Civil War played a part in Augusta’s history, the importance of steamboats and railroads to the town and even a few mysteries. The tour begins at the American Legion Hut on 1st street, travels on through the downtown on Second Street and ends at the Augusta Memorial Cemetery.
