Fall Break Outing to Eureka Springs, Arkansas Depart morning of Monday, October 7 – Return late afternoon Wednesday, October 9th. Grab your bag and let’s go! We’ll need at least 10 persons to make this trip a “GO!” We’ll plan on leaving the church around 8 AM Monday morning and have a combina-tion late lunch/early dinner along the way. We’ll check in to the historic Basin Park hotel for our stay. Optional activity Monday evening: The Crescent Hotel Ghost Tour. On Tuesday, we’ll have breakfast and take a Holy Land Tour (a simulation of Jerusalem’s East Gate and Marketplace, Moses’ tabernacle in the desert and a re-enactment of the Last Supper). We’ll have lunch together, return to our rooms for a rest and –following an early dinner—we’ll attend the Passion Play (America’s #1 attended outdoor drama). On Wednesday, we’ll head home but will first detour a bit to take in the War Eagle Mill (shopping) or—for those more adventurous souls –a 60 minute guided tour of War Eagle Cavern (two waterfalls and 10,000 bats). If all goes according to plan, we’ll arrive back (tired and happy!) around 7 PM Wednesday evening. Estimated cost per person is $375 and is based on double occupancy. (Cave tour and Ghost tour are paid separately and not included in this amount.) To sign up or ask questions, please call Pastor Dan on his cell at (731) 501-6254 or by e-mail: [email protected]
