Mid America Celebrates the Holidays in Little Rock

Little Rock, Arkansas is a beautiful place to visit any time. Its location near the foothills of the Ouachita Mts. makes it an ideal place for people to get away and enjoy the fresh air and fall colors of these gentle hills.. Since the 1980s the city has grown and is becoming much more cosmopolitan. The city has grown to just over half a million in the greater metropolitan area and the expansion of civic organizations and activities for its citizens has become a drawing card for tourism as well.
The holiday season in Little Rock focuses on fireworks displays, holiday music and celebrations all over the city.

Start off December by visiting the Crafts fair where you can find all sorts of beautiful handmade items for your Christmas shopping list! All weekend, December 1 - 3, 2006 the Arkansas Craft Guild will present its 28th Christmas Showcase Statehouse Convention Center at the Statehouse Convention Center. I love crafts shows because people come from all around to display and sell their unique gifts. It gives you a change to purchase articles which you may never even see in any store. 

There will be 100 artists and craftsmen during this weekend of craft sales. The hours are Friday, 10am-8pm, Saturday, 10am-8pm, and Sunday, 10am-4pm. The admission price is $5/day or $8.00 for the whole weekend. I would certainly go on and buy a weekend ticket in case I couldn’t get around to seeing all the booths and available crafts in one day. Seniors get an extra dollar off both admission prices. More information on the main web site, www.holidaysinlittlerock.com
