I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Y’all know what time of year it is? It’s almost festival season!!! It’s my favorite season where I can trade my ice cream cones for hot cocoa and warm cider. Plus, who doesn’t love sweater weather? And with the change in weather comes the annual festivities in Arkansas. If you’re like me and love small-town festivals, then you’re in for a treat. This year let’s head to Paris for the 44th annual Frontier Day Festival to celebrate the upcoming season. Bring the entire family to this small-town harvest festival in Arkansas, it’s one you don’t want to miss!
On October 7, save the date for the upcoming Frontier Day Festival held in the town square of Paris Arkansas.
This one-day celebration kicks off at 9 a.m. with a parade and the opening ceremony.
As a celebration of yesteryear, you can expect to find live historic reenactments throughout the day. It's one of the most entertaining parts of the festival, so you don't want to miss it.
Not to mention, there is live entertainment, games as well as fun competitions for the little ones. Be sure to have your camera to capture the adorable moments.
Other events include a car show, turtle race, a chili cook-off, live dinosaurs, and everything in between. This family-friendly event is packed with lots of activities.
No fall festival is complete without seasonal festivities. There will be arts and craft vendors as well as pumpkin patch displays that are great for photo ops.
