EVENING SHADE INN BED AND BREAKFAST NEWSLETTER

Eureka Springs, Arkansas
September , 2007

The weather is cooling off and fall is coming! Automobile Festivals, Music Festivals, Artists Studio Tours, The famous War Eagle Fair, Ole Applegate Craft Fair, Turpentine Craft Fair and Fall Colors are all just around the corner - make your reservations now!

We are considering doing a two-night Couple's Retreat later this year or maybe early next year. Our minister who does our weddings, Gary Andrews would hold sessions on marriage-building related topics. Of course, the sessions would only take up an hour or two each day and remainder of your time would be for you to spend together to do a Couples' Massage, a Romantic Dinner together or shopping. We would like to know if there is enough interest to organize this event. Please give us a call or email us and let us know!
