Businesses On Main Street In The News!
We are excited to see that Kait8 featured Hardy Arkansas, and most importantly the business on Main in a recent news feature on Labor Day weekend. Hardy’s tourism business thrives in the Spring and Summer and with the Labor Day weekend this usually represents the final push of the main tourist season.
“The economy has effected everybody, you know, for those folks who have come out and weathered the stormed and come to the store and shared their time and their money with us we’re truly grateful,” said Marc Herring, owner of the Ozark Classic Crafts Mall in Hardy.
Main Street Parking Fading Away!
It is time that our City Leaders realize that something is seriously wrong in our City and start to work for a positive change. Work together, and work with the people instead of against them. This story is just about one small simple problem that should have already been taken care of. At the very least it would show the city cares about the safety of the tourist.
That issue, simply, is the condition of the current parking stripes on Main Street. The painted parking spaces are extremely faded and only give the Main Street a look of being ignored and untidy.
Importance Of Life Jackets While On The Spring River
There is one main function of a life jacket: to keep the wearer from drowning. We cannot get this message out enough. Unfortunately, we have already had three individuals drown while on the Spring River this year alone.
The most recent was just on Aug. 7th when a young boy drowned, just a couple of weeks earlier a woman also drowned. These tragic losses could have possibly been prevented if they were wearing a life jacket.
It is important to realize the importance of wearing a Life Jacket. Today’s life jackets are lightweight, good-looking and comfortable. They are also inexpensive. Only the purpose hasn’t changed; they still save lives.
