Just announced:
We're starting a new Women in Blues festival in Helena AR -AND- Clarksdale MS on May 13-14, 2022.
We first started Shared Experiences to connect people and places...and look ma, we're doing it! Fitting to announce during #ARGovCon22 where we've been talking about how to build bridges between communities.
We'll host Friday in Helena and Saturday in Clarksdale so both communities benefit, and can promote each other. Delta towns are too small to compete with one another. But if we collaborate, we can invite everyone to visit the Delta -- where each town has something special to share.
If you haven't seen it yet, our sneak preview is at WomenInBlues.org and here:
The video starts at the Crossroads and ends crossing the Mississippi River. As the Welcome to Arkansas sign says: BUCKLE UP FOR SAFETY. It's a fun journey ahead.
(PS this is @GraduateHotels in #FayettevilleArkansas -- so cool. Put it and a @UArkansas#Razorbacks game on your #bucketlist for a truly local experience #findingnwa when you come to @FayettevilleRoots. They and the @FayettevilleAR@Arkansas teams sure make travelers feel welcome. Thanks y'all! Can't wait to come back soon.)
