CHRISTMAS ACROSS ARKANSAS

Jonesboro has more than one million lights to decorate its downtown "Lights of the Ridge" festival. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride, visit winter wonderland, see Santa and enjoy Christmas music on the courthouse lawn.

Fayetteville, named "Best Festival of the Year" by the Arkansas Festival Association has a Magical Fairyland in downtown square. This serves as a backdrop for the Jingle Bell Jog, parade, choirs and the Festival of Trees. This famous "home of the Razorbacks" always welcomes visitors to their mountain city.

Harrison is another town with over two million lights including animated lighting fixtures and 250 Christmas trees along the Harrison Lake Levee. Look out onto the water and see the floating displays. You just won't believe your eyes.

Eureka Springs, the charm of the South, begins its holiday with "A Century of Holidays" parade followed by a Santa in the Park Party, Holiday Walk of Lights, candlelight caroling and much, much more. A "Sacred Journey in Lights" is open November 12 through January 1. If you visit Eureka Springs during the holiday you must see this drive through display of the "Nativity." It is shown on the grounds of "The Great Passion Play."

There are many more cities and towns in Arkansas with brilliant lights and Christmas displays. There are too many for me to list here for you. If you want more information about these places, visit the Arkansas State Web site... http://www.arkansas.com
