There are lots and lots of activities planned for the next few days. I thought I’d give you a sampling of some that caught my eye as I searched for what was going on in our area. I also want to give you links to some good calendars I found online.

Calendar Websites

To search for other activities from salsa dancing to opera performance to prescription drug collections, check these websites:


Northwest Arkansas (you can search this site’s calendar by community)



Fayetteville Flyer Calendar Page (this site gives you lots of Dickson Street info.)



TV 40/29 Calendar (covers the region, not just our two county area)



KUAF Radio (this one will let you know about U of A cultural events as well as many others)



I’m always looking for more good sites to add to this list, so let me know if you have know of one or more that qualify!
