Have you ever done something "just to be nice" and have it turn out to be so much fun? For several years the 20/20 Group has joined with the Chamber of Commerce to welcome the Scout canoers of the White River Canoe Race. This year there were about 160 canoers and their families! They come from ALL over! This year there was even a group from California! There are others from Minnesota, Louisiana, etc. etc. For many it's their first trip to AR. so they get a wonderful impression of AR. and of course especially of Calico Rock. We offer lots of cheering, some homemade cookies, a few slices of watermelon and BEST of all - apparently - ice cold water! Many of their families then head up to Main St. and Hwy. 56 for a little lunch and shopping before meeting up with the kids at Allison for the last leg of the trip to Batesville. Besides the fun of meeting so many great people it's fun hearing how much they look forward to the Calico Rock "switchout" each year and how many of those same folks will be back on their vacations!
Special Note: I'm new at the blog business but put us in your "favorites" and come back as I get the hang of adding pictures of the fun.
