Arkansas is the natural state but we have some unnatural visitors every year in late November to early March. No, not the snowbirds! Every winter Heber Springs is chosen to be a winter vacation home for trumpeter swans.
No matter how many times one visits with the swans and their friends (Chinese Wood Ducks), it is an enjoyable and relaxing outing. Recently, members of the Fairfield Bay Garden Club took their cameras and headed to Magness Lake to spend time with the swans. Bags of corn were provided to feed the beautiful birds and the antics of all the waterfowl while diving for the corn certainly brought a lot of smiles and laughter to all the members.
A trip to Heber Springs would not be complete without t lunch at Red Apple and shopping. So as always, it was an enjoyable trip with members and guests of Fairfield Bay Garden Club.
