Hello
all,
A number of you have
inquired about our schedule of events for the Lancair Fly In at Hot Springs
Arkansas, Oct. 10-12. This fly in will be very different from past
events in that we're based in the heart of town and there's lots to do
nearby.
I am posting this to
invite your feedback. This is a wonderful destination with a plethora of
activities.
At the current time I am planning a
welcoming event at the hotel on Friday evening, a "Prop Talk" event
at the airport Saturday afternoon/early evening for you to visit with fellow
pilots and compare notes on your planes, and a Sunday Brunch prior to
departure.
As to the things to
do, if there is a lot of feedback about any particular activity I will be glad
to try to organize it for a group.
We will also have
some vehicles available to shuttle folks around, however, it sounds like getting
to attractions is pretty easy. For outlying destinations however, you may
want your own rental car.
This is a list with
something for everyone: (check these out online for more
details)
Garven Woodland
Botanical Gardens, Magic Springs Theme Park & Crystal Falls Water Park
(both within Hot Springs National Park), Hot Springs National Park has
multiple hiking, nature hike and mountain biking trails - the Nat'l. Park
encompasses the north end of the downtown area of the city.
There is lots and
lots of water around Hot Springs, so there's abundant bass and trout
fishing, National Park boat tours, and canoeing
opportunities. The Belle of Hot Springs Riverboat offers
cruises. Party Barge rentals if you just want to cruise are readily
available for $54 hr., capacity 12.
There are a variety
of historical tours available, museums, and art galleries, and lots of
shopping all within walking distance of the Arlington. There's also a
President Clinton Hometown Tour of historic sites.
The Arlington owns
the Country Club which features 2 courses...if you plan to play, make your tee
time reservations when you make your room reservations. Hotel guests enjoy
all Country Club priviledges.
And of course, the
real highlight of this place is the spas. Bathhouse Row on the main street
downtown features many historic bathhouse spas with full services...massage to
the whole works.
You won't have
trouble finding something interesting and enjoyable to do.
So what do you
think?
Thank you,
