Happy to be here

Editor,

As we close the door on 2016 this town we live in has and continues to attract new people. Why here? Are you crazy? “This is the town of misfit toys,” is the refrains you hear for the artisans and other highly talented and gifted people who call this village their home. Most of us who choose this as their home identify qualities they believe make this place home and safe.

Our hidden sanctuary we call Eureka Springs has things that other places only dream of. Respect for each other. Caring for neighbors regardless of race, creed or politics, the pride and admiration of those who have served this country, the knowledge that your view will be heard, the safety to know we can and will be a Eurekan and accepted as such regardless of what we believe. We love this place and care for everyone. Happy New Year Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
