: 🍂🚴♀️ War Eagle. Big Sugar. Dracula. It’s a full fall weekend.

Hey, it's Lynn – This week has been full in the best way: arts and crafts fairs are buzzing from Bella Vista to Fayetteville, with the granddaddy of them all, the War Eagle Fair, drawing thousands to Rogers. In Bentonville, the Big Sugar gravel race rolls out Saturday, bringing world-class cyclists to the Ozarks. Don’t miss the short video featuring favorite local restaurants in Bentonville—the spots locals love. Earlier in the week, I got a sneak peek of the Haunted Trail Walk in Eureka Springs, presented by the Eureka Springs Theatre Company (see the video). It was fun, creative and spooky. As we move closer to October 31, fall festivals, Oktoberfests, and Halloween events are lighting up towns all across Northwest Arkansas—and Dracula: The Ballet in Eureka Springs is a hauntingly beautiful way to close out the week. 👇 Here’s what’s happening across Northwest Arkansas:
