Find that Priceless Gift of “Connection” on Green Friday at Hobbs State Park |
|
According to Chris Pistole, interpreter at Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area, “Instead of stressing out about finding a good deal on the latest gadget this holiday season, let’s all take the time to be thankful for all that we have here in northwest Arkansas– clean water and air, and time with friends and family. ‘Green Friday’ is a chance to give a gift that is priceless – a connection – a memory! There is true value in our natural areas, recreational activities, and traditions. Getting out and exploring them with friends and family are those priceless connections – those priceless memories.” What is your “Connection”? A hike in the woods? Doing a craft? Pistole further added, “Find a real value at Hobbs State Park on Friday, November 23. Reconnect with the things that most of us find important in life. Hobbs is the ideal place to avoid the stress of crowds, long lines, and rain checks on sale items usually associated with the holidays.
