Great news!
I've always been wanting to attend at least one National and now I should be able to do it!
Even though it's a one day show, plan on making a weekend of it! Fayetteville and the surrounding area is a great place to visit. Plenty of hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, shopping, tourist attractions, etc. Eureka Springs is not far from Fayetteville, and is quite the tourist attraction. A bit farther south in the state is Hot Springs, another tourist hot spot. A bit closer to Fayetteville is Devils Den state park if you are into camping and hiking trails. Take a ride down scenic hwy 23 (aka the Pig Trail), if you want to see some beautiful scenery. If you are traveling from the NE, Branson, Mo, is along the way. Lot's of things to do in Branson.
November 7th may be a little late to catch the fall colors though, but who knows with this wacky weather?
Gosh, I hope I can get the ladies to lay this winter!
