Well, it looks as though some members of the 20/20 Group are already taking advantage of the pocket park next to the old Vogue Cleaners. Actually, they were meeting to discuss what needs to be done next. Because they try to do all labor themselves it may seem that things are progressing slowly but it is already a restful spot on land donated by Dean and Peggy Hudson where part of the old building has been removed. They've enlisted some help along the way with some funds donated by Frederika Silvy Johns. Charlie Eldridge put in the wonderful stone walkway leading from the stairs up into the park. Watch the area as plantings are added with the hope of a Fall ribbon cutting.

Fifty Mile Yard Sale!

Just in time for "Back to School", Fall Cleaning", "Change of Seasons", etc.etc. the Calico Rock/Pineville Chamber of Commerce is planning the biggest yard sale our area has ever seen. It's called the Heavenly Highways Yard Sale because it will run all along Highway 5 from Mountain View to Calico Rock, then loop onto Hwy.56 to Hwy.177, going through Pineville, all the way to Salesville and back down to Calico on route 177S.

The Sale is September 11 and 12 and you can be part of it! Many Churches along the route will be using their parking lots, or just use your own property and invite family and friends to share for more fun! If you don't live on the route you can reserve a spot at Calico Rock's King Park by calling the Chamber office ahead of time at 297-4129. There is no fee involved for any of this unless you would like your address listed on the map. There is a $5 fee to cover map and advertising costs.

Maps will be available at several locations (the Calico Rock/Pineville Chamber office) and online at http://www.calicorock.us/

This kind of sale has become hugely popular all over the country - it benefits those with things to sell as well as those wanting to shop. Also, while saving - or making- some money you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Ozark's Heavenly Highways!
