Hey, it's Lynn –
I love fall in Northwest Arkansas—the weather, the events, and the little surprises along the way. This week I stopped into Can Do Hardware and made a video for you; it’s such a fun, unexpected place that always has something different to discover.

This weekend kicks off Bikes, Blues & BBQ, with Rogers as the hub and rides/events reaching into Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, and Springdale. On top of that, Bentonville has First Friday and the Big Diamond Comedy Festival, Fayetteville hosts Falltoberfest on Sunday, and Siloam Springs brings the Homegrown Festival.

Pumpkin patches and haunted houses are opening across NWA, and they’re always a fun way to mark the season. It’s one of the busiest weekends of fall—I will be out and about, if you see me, don’t be shy, come say hi.

👇 Here’s what’s happening across Northwest Arkansas:
