First of All...Thanks to All!
What a day, Saturday!
Thirty-Two vehicles winding along the Guion Road...around 100 people descending upon Guion, Lafferty, and Gid...great music, a truly unforgettable historic presentation, and a fat-reducing hike! The "Spring Splash" Road Trip was truly a wonderful experience for those of us at EIC!
And surely a historic occasion for our website and even the county itself!
The most amusing part of the trip? Lawncare workers doing double-takes and yard-dogs stopping their play to watch in bewilderment as the tour passed-by!
We want to thank everyone who participated in the event, Mrs. Mary Lafferty Wilson for her excellent history lesson, Dwayne Spangler for the awesome music, all those who encourage us to continue finding things to post and activities to host via e-mail, everyone who donned the yellow-shirts to help as Event Staff, the many who drove hours to be with us, the Izard County Historical & Genealogical Society for joining us, individuals who bought T-Shirts, merchandise, and made donations to the Trimble House Project, our sponsors who made it all possible, and most especially...the landowners and caretakers who graciously allowed us to visit such wonderful places!
Give us a day or two to collect photos and video from staff and participants and we'll begin sharing the entire experience through more photos, videos, and slideshows,
Again, thanks to all of you!

A Big, Big "Thank You" to Our Sponsors!
How exciting!
First - within 10 days of announcing our April 25th "Spring Splash" Road Trip, we had completely booked the tour! When, two weeks ago, an article about the site appeared in the Three Rivers supplement to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and we received more calls, we decided to allow a few more to join in on the fun. We even managed to find room for some to go along in other vehicles (thanks to those offering their seats)!
Second - the response to our sponsorship-seeking efforts has been truly encouraging! We are so proud of our sponsors who see the value in this amazing county's natural beauty, history, and Ozark culture. It's great to know so many area business-people aware of the pressing need to preserve Izard County's treasures. They know, as we do here at EIC, that Izard County holds its very future in its own hands clutched tightly to its blessed bosom!
A GIANT Thank-You to our gracious sponsors!
Another great-big, huge Thank You to those who chose to also sponsor our website! You can view these sponsors on our sidebar to the right.
And thanks, also, to the wonderful people who have helped spread the word about this site and the events it sponsors through various and sundry means!
